Print Speed (flow rate) Choose based on desired print speed, it doesn't matter fast your motion system is if you can't melt enough plastic

Cooling Performance Check heatsink and fan capabilities
Maintenance Needs Consider ease of cleaning and part replacement, pay attention to what type of heate carterage it uses, and what thermistor it uses, this might not be important now but when you want cheap easily available replacement parts, you will be thankful
