Start with the one close to you that seems fairly busy and give them a test roll. If they do great then you can stop. Some questions to ask that will speed up the process are "How long has the staff been here". Obviously the longer the better. Another question would be, "Who fixes your machines". If the answer is some remote technician then perhaps you should find another location. I suggested busy as usually there is a reason a parcticular lab is busy and it is the same one as for a good restaurant.
