I land in the middle but lean redemption.
Here's my actual reasoning. Library quality you can judge in a free GC afternoon, no risk, no docs. Redemption quality you only find out after you've already handed over your ID and built a balance, which is the worst time to discover a problem. So I weight redemption heavier purely because the downside of getting it wrong is so much bigger. Library's a nice-to-have, payout's the thing that actually defines whether a site was worth it.
