I am creating a service, where I have to make implementations to different Bitcoin exchanges. In this scenario, I have the use case "Find the cheapest place to buy Bitcoins, and purchase for 100$".
Currently, I thought about using:
- Bitstamp
- Btc-E
However, some questions:
- Are there more exchanges we should consider? I don't see MtGox as a serious option and want to avoid them
- Currently Btc-E is 8$ cheaper than Bitstamp, why is that? Why would anyone ever buy the Bitstamp then?
- Are there always volume enough to buy at a consistent price at these exchanges?

Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

Presumably, another use case would be "find the most expensive place to sell bitcoins"?
AFAIK, when sending USD to btc-e you must pay a high transactio fee.

I've heard it's hard to fund a BTC-E account with dollars. I'm not sure -- I funded it P2P on the forum originally and have since only deposited BTC, not fiat. But yeah, Bitstamp and BTC-E.... maybe CampBX? Do they have any market share at this point? BTCChina maybe, for reference, since the Chinese market has become more important. No idea what it takes to fund a CNY account, though.

Use BitCoinAverage's API. It gives the current price on all the big exchanges for a lot of currencies. Example: https://api.bitcoinaverage.com/exchanges/EUR |

Could now add BTCChina, and use a tool like XE.com to autoconvert the exchange rate into USD or whatever.

You want to create public API implementations? What language are you using? Maybe we could share some code? I use java..
