Are you trading automatically? If you're trading manually, the extra RDP hop between your local computer and the VPS is only further unnecessary delay and there's almost only disadvantages for using a VPS.

That's correct unless OCO/bracket are managed locally or if stops/targets are dynamic and held locallytoo.
There are also advantages in using a dedicated machine for trading: you can avoid email, word processor, web surfing, ... which means no virus risks and a dedicated environment for trading purposes.

Yes, I think the main selling point for him depends on the ratio of bandwidth for market data vs bandwidth for visualization of that market data.
