Should I use Sphinx or MySQL full-text for searching through no more than 1000 database entires in different tables?
Later on I plan to display the entries that match the search keywords on a map as points.

All depends on your level of use and need. I would suggest you start with MySQL full-text searching – its easier to implement and will get you to production faster. You can always plan to upgrade later as your demands dictate.
