Planetary imaging is all about High Frame Rat and High resolution along with CCD sensor not CMOS.
It would be hard for any one individual to accurately report on all of these as they would have only use one maybe 2 units. Personally reviews are good to find faults.
The best method is to find the a good starting point is look at the highest Framerate (FPS) and the check other cameras to see if the framerate is the same at higher resolutions eg: CAMERA 1 - 30FPS 640 x 480, CAMERA 2 - 30FPS @ 1280 x 960. Although highly unlikely CAMERA 2 is better but more realistically you may want to look at mid framerate for comparision eg 15 fps or less. It is a long drawn out process but if you see something with the same spec then I would go for the cheapest.
Resolution provides more detail while framerate assist in image processing for poor seeing conditions.
After all that crud, reviews for the Imaging Source cameras have been the most positive but they do have a much higher marketing profile compared to others. I think there is a FLEA or FLI planetary camera as well with good reviews.
