In writing a song, I would think one of the most important considerations in choosing a key is which key fits your vocal range the best. If you've got the same melody but play it in different keys, in different keys the melody is going to be higher or lower. If you've got a low voice, choose a key where the melody is going to be sung lower, or choose a different key if you've got a higher voice.
