I have a few preferred publishers (everyman's if translation is good, library of america), then after that it's just looking at what's available. With classics, it's often possible to find out-of-print hardbacks (like the greek tragedies + seneca from uchicago) so I just watch eBay for a while to find a decent price and good condition. I'm still new enough to reading I have lots of basic things left to read, which makes it not so hard to find quality publishers. Lots of things just don't seem to have any quality option available, for those I just find a paperback that has good translation and decent cover. I like Vintage for pretty good physical quality plus comfy cover designs. They also tend to have good bindings, eg this is probably my most beat-up paperback, was in my bag for a month or two for a class, but the binding looks completely fine.
