If heading for mid Florida I always use TPA, even if my eventual destination is close to the Orlando area. However, same as edi_local I have only arr and dep TPA on domestic sectors. It's a pleasant average type of airport to use. As for the MIA area, I rather enter the U.S. via ATL and fly domestic to either MIA or FLL. I do remember flying into FLL on an international (LTU) flight many moons ago and leaving the airport in a rental car with my family only 30 mins after touchdown!
