The quick answer is in-store is best, especially if it is your first time buying. It is a good idea to hold them and do a few moves to see if the pounds you are wanting to buy are to heavy or to light. If you buy a pair of ten pound dumbbells online and find they are to heavy you will have to send them back (usually at your expense) or go out and buy lighter weights. You can always do some price checking online buy when you are ready to purchase do it in person.
There are options to choose from: the material on the inside and outside, shape of the grip, etc. These are things you cannot feel online. Another draw back will be the cost of shipping, unless you find a place that has free shipping it could cost more then the weights themselves.
To save money you can always buy used equipment from stores such as Play It Again Sports, do a Google search to find what stores are in your area.
