I'm not sure you mean by "local mirror". If you mean the one closest to
you, absent any pressing network issues, I wouldn't worry about it.
http://deb.debian.org/ points to a content delivery network (CDN) that
picks a local server for you.
If you mean running your own mirror, I suggest that setting up a local
cache would be less resource intensive. Running your own mirror would
mean pulling in a lot of stuff you'll never use. Running a cache means
pulling in only what you use, and then you have it locally should you
need it again, say for another machine.
I run apt-cacher-ng with excellent results. All my machines use
auto-apt-proxy, and I have a suitable entry in my DNS server.
