A good starting point for you since the test was free. My opinion after comparison of my tests at the various companies is that 23andme is the one that has given me least useful matches to date. If you decide at some stage in the future to venture further into DNA testing then you might want to consider AncestryDNA as being the one that gives access to most potential matches.
If you decide that you want to explore mtDNA testing further and look for matches then you will need to use FTDNA and take the full test that includes levels HVR1 and HVR2. However, be aware that the genealogical value of mtDNA testing can be limited unless you are trying to apply it to a specific theory that you want to evaluate.
