    This is a great question, back when we were looking for networks for our site our key factors were:

    Human Availability, Pay Frequency, Earnings, Ad Types (avoiding malicious ads, redirects, pop ups, etc)

    We outgrew this and started our own network and try to keep those our top priority.

      These are excellent points to be made for a compliance process. 1 thing which I think could be added though... The network requiring sites to ensure there are no more than 3 ad placements per page. That keeps ad performance up. Keeps the unique to impression ratio in balance as well.
