How can I tell what version of an LP is best ?

After 27 years I am coming back to vinyl . Should've never left !
Anyway , I would like to know if there is some kind of rating service , web site etc. that rates the different LP pressings. When I left , most everything was just the original cut . Now I see remasters , UK versions , Japanese versions and etc. I have some original albums that are just sublime and some that are , well not so much . I have heard three different versions of a Doors
CD that were all bad quality .
Does such a service exist ?

Thank You

Moonglum made a point I believe is often overlooked, "Pressing quality can vary depending on the condition of the stamper".

My simple question, would you rather have the last record pressed from stamper #1 or the first record pressed from stamper #40?

Unfortunately this means the best search method is still trial and error. :^(
