I agree with hoosierhunter, originality can be a problem with offshore work. Be sure that you do not get ripped off.
If you work with Indians, I do not see why you would have a problem due only to the fact that they are Indian. The Indian schooling system teaches British English, and they usually write well, with proper grammer and spelling. They have strong Indian accents, but obviously, that isnt a problem for written work.
I doubt that you will get anything extraordinary from offshore work. It usually isnt creative. If you buy articles, it is basically like paying for words. You buy 800 words, not 3 great ideas or concepts.
If you are looking for site promotion, then insist on keyword rich articles. Explicitly give the keywords which you want to appear, and the number of times which you want them to appear within the article.
I would ask for sample work before you start. If you want more writers to choose from, check out elance.com
