As a Proxy for reputability and trustworthiness, I have a few criteria:
     *****

1) If they have enough money to advertise on the GLOSSY PAGES.   :-)
2) If you also see that their ads in PC-Week or PC-Magazine.
3) If they don't have half-naked women leaning over the monitor in the ad, or
   background pictures of fighter planes, or astronaut helmets with the name
   Ollie North written on it! 

These may be necessary conditions, I don't know if they are sufficient!
