Local Repository is usually used when you have single actions in tests.

Advantages of using Local repository over shared repository are:

1) Better management of repository
2) QTP works faster with local repository than shred repository
3)Lesser chances of deleting a objects by mistake.

Per Action Repository is useful for
(i) Scripts contain only one action..
(ii) The different objects required for different actions
(iii) OR is used by you only in your team
(iv) If you have application --> your module --> individual products to validate... here you need to develop individual scripts for individual products to validate... (Shared repository is required to add all products to validate in all modules in an application makes huge) so, individual scripts maintaining makes your script efficient and effective. Here Discriptive Programming is best way to use.. if you wanna use OR, Per Action is best.

1> every object in QTp test will have there own local object repository
2> object present in the local OR can be accessable by only respective actio where as object present in shared OR can be accessable by any associated action
3> in real time first script is written by using Local OR after words merge all the Local OR to one or more (depends upon the application) shared OR

One more.

1.You need not a code to load the repository.
2.You need not to think about setting(path) if you are moving your test
3. Local repository is by default attached with test case, hence it will automatically be uploaded in case you move your test from on machine to other
