Location and price are the two major things while you're searching. Once you get it down to a few choices, visit and notice if they have the equipment you want, and if there's any wait to use equipment. Go after work on Monday - that's usually the busiest time. Life's too short to have to wait for a treadmill.
As for my pet peeve, you might want to check the general hygiene of the people there, too - as in, how many people actually carry and use a towel. The gym I go to is notoriously lax in this - I'd say half the people there don't even carry a towel, and half of those who do never use them - I walk around the place with a spray bottle of chlorinated water and wipe down every piece of equipment before I use it. It's bad enough that people are so rude as to think it's alright to leave a sweaty machine for the next user, but with the flu - and even MERSA now - it's a legitimate health concern, AFAIC.

It won't hurt your fashion sense, either.
