My heuristic is:

1. Google for a blog comparing them, and eliminate any candidates with major red flags

2. Go with the one that has the most stars on it's github repo.

So if there are no blog posts (1) then we all do 2 and then we suffer from first mover lock in.

I don't find JS has a "first mover lock-in" problem. If anything, it has the opposite...

IDK, I'm hoping that there are enough people who don't check stars and choose a repo simply because it was the first one they found or because they think it works better with their existing code or for other reasons. And honestly there are many times where I've been that person.
