Guys who know the HR system and papasans better seem to be able to arrange a virtual lineup sometimes, and that would obviously improve your selection. I don't know if such a thing would be available to a non-canto speaking first timer.
For a first time, bust-a-cherry thing, go with a walkup. Maybe stick to the ones advertised here so you eliminate any chance of price confusion. It's easy.
