The origin of the tree is irrelevant. The potential bonsai is all important. When I look at great trees, I often see that they came from any of the three you mentioned.

Conversely, I see many spindly trunks and sparse foilage in collected, bonsai nursery and general nursery trees.

I say go for all three and accept only those that will make great bonsai in the future.
