I don't think there's too much in it.
Starting point is DEFRA approved clean burn design which will have air recirculation.
After that it's just choose a quality maker, the right output for your room size and make sure the flue install is also by someone reputable.
5kw output should be fine unless the room is massive.
I have a Morso which I love, it's about 15 years old and faultless. My dad has a Heta which he raves about and also seems fine when I've used it.
It's worth paying a bit more for a quality stove which won't warp internals and has decent air flow control.

Thanks ok that's good.
It's not massive at all 5x3m. We also have a 45kw wood boiler but the intention is to use the stove to take the chill off without heating the hole house.
I've a bronpi in the kitchen but it's an oven too, so too big to move into the sitting room. I'll look for those brands second hand locally.

We’ve just had a Stovax installed and @ChasnotRobert has said just about everything I was gonna.
I’ll add that we had ours installed by someone with all the HETAS certification and he took care of Building Control (by default - it’s assumed it’s done properly if someone is HETAS approved).

Wood stoves.
I know they're taboo, but I want one for the sitting room. Has someone done the leg work and can recommend what to look for with efficiency and good?
