Best criteria for landowner to use when evaluating potential representatives.

As a landowner, what are the factors you take into consideration when evaluating a potential representative (individual or association or self or other) to protect your mineral (oil and gas) rights during the process of leasing those rights to an oil & gas company? Of these, which are primary and which are secondary?

I've found it difficult to develop factual information that allows for "apples to apples" comparisons between the various entities seeking to represent Utica Shale landowners. At this point, the first-hand experience of folks who have "been there, done that" would be very helpful.

Thanks in advance for any and all feedback.
