[quote=Anonymous]Health history and "intelligence" were my two priorities initially.  After more research, I added that the person had to be a proven donor, too.  I completely agree with one of the prior posts that the info you get from some places is too little.  I'm going with an agency as a result.  Despite the higher cost, I feel better about how the donors are vetted and the amount of information I receive.  I've just selected a donor and am getting the process going from there.  I'm definitely more scared that DE won't work at all than I am about having picked the wrong donor, but I found using the agency relieved some stress over picking a donor.

Judging intelligence based on the info we get (even from an agency) is incredibly difficult and most likely impossible.  Test scores are somewhat helpful, but far from a gold standard.  I find the extra info I've gotten gives me a better picture of the donor as a person, which has been very helpful.  A couple people I thought of using had personality traits I wish I had.
