Other than tzinius, I cannot think of another area of hashkafah that is so personally subjective as kashruth. If you have an established relationship with a LR/P, than it should be a simple question of asking their advice (and taking it). Otherwise, you may ultimately be happy with how they wash their kale but then freak out when you discover their standards for checking for small worms in salmon are really inadequate. There is no “perfect” hashgacha. Many consider chasideshe hashgachos to be the gold standard, but that is certainly not a universal view.
