Jurisdiction for a business contract?

I am starting a new business venture and need to create a business contract. I am unsure of which jurisdiction the contract should be written in, as my business will have operations in multiple states. I am looking for advice on which jurisdiction would be most suitable for my business contract.

I most instances, I would specify in the contract that the laws of the State of your principal office and business operations apply to the contract. I would also include a mandatory local jurisdiction and local venue for the same reasons. Choice of Law, Jurisdiction, and Venue are each separate concepts.
