Usually, in my experience, a county will place with their own foster parents first. Meaning, most easier placements, will stay w/ the county. A county pays more to an agency (for us they paid the agency $1700 and we were given $700 of that per month) due to the child's needs. If you are interested in an infant, you may want to look at the county. I know many county foster parents that received infants, but I did not get our infant placement till after we switched. Agencies are nice because they offer more one on one help, but the children had more difficult needs.
Hope this helps.
