Like I've said before I speak next to no Japanese, so I pretty much rely on the opinions of other fansubbers and people I know speak/read Japanese to gauge how good a fansub is. Most groups have twitter accounts, and then most members have personal twitter accounts and they do talk a lot about what they do on there. Magenta I particularly enjoy following just because every week he talks about decisions he'll have made on that week of Gaim. Things like "Ornac" and (to a lesser extent) "Triumphant/Zenith" may not appeal to me personally, but it's fascinating to read about the decisions they make even if I don't speak the language.

I really don't want to sound like one to snub a sub group, because I am appreciative of what they do. But if translating a translation didn't sound like a sketchy idea in the first place, the whole mindset of releasing a mistake-laden project just for the sake of "having a set of subs" just doesn't work for me. Especially when said project is berating groups like GUIS for having too many projects then snubbing the thought that if that's problem then why not give them the extra help in the timing/QC department?

Yes its a hobby, but at the same time releasing something to the public is going to put them in the firing line regardless of whether its free or not. Groups take pride in their releases, so going in with the mindset of "if you’re going to do something wrong then do it already and get rid of it" is going to ring alarm bells.
