Choosing the right one

Size payload for the gripper, camera and part together, with margin: a 5 kg arm carrying a 1 kg gripper has 4 kg left.
Rated payload holds at full reach. Most arms carry less when fully extended at full speed.
Check that the controller takes Cartesian targets and solves the inverse kinematics itself; otherwise you write that math.
Torque sensors in every joint make force control, collision detection and hand-guiding far better than current-based estimates.
Try the vendor's simulator or URDF before you buy. A clean Python API and simulator are a good sign of the support you will get later.
Hobby servo arms (under about $1,000) suit teaching and prototyping, not production duty cycles.
