It's hard to say much without knowing more about your problem.  How many 
unknowns?  Is it differentiable?  Do you have analytical derivatives?  Is a 
local optimum sufficient?  Are there nonlinear constraints?

Your best bet is just to try several algorithms in NLopt and pick the one that 
works best.
