Google Earth is your friend. Gives you a better idea of the layout than the sketch map usually provided on most websites. Also look at a sunrise/sunset table for the area (not only exact times, but many also show the exact azimuth throughout the day. A little math then tells you exactly when you will be in the shade or sun).
We do not like to be in the sites closest to the highway or main driveways in the CG. Just the two of us, no kids, so being close to the playground or pool is not a big deal.
Google earth will show you where the large trees are. They provide shade from afternoon sun, or may shade a rooftop solar panel. They may obstruct your view of the adjacent area (which may be good or bad, depending on the view). They may block your view of the sunrise or sunset, or prevent you from staring into the sun while indoors and near a window. Shading the outside wall next to your refrigerator makes it run more efficiently. We like birdwatching, so large trees are a benefit there.
Even though many places advertise wifi, unless you are right next to the main office the wifi will most likely unusable anywhere in the CG. We use an aircard, so we do not care about wifi.
In short, there are many factors that are important to you, and many less important. Someone else will have different preferences.
