Without knowing your big box store options, going with a DC motor fan, that is well rated and easily returnable is a good starting point. A fan that looks like a traditional fan, not like the ones shown in this article.

I used to recommend the house brands at lowes (harbor breeze) and home depot (hampton bay). But they both had a big quality drop post covid.

I've tried some of the well rated fans from Amazon and they've been ok too.

I would tell you to look at the installation guide before buying. You can always find them online links are usually on the store website. What you are looking for is ease of installation. Some models are stupidly complex with how they go together, making it impossible to remove or adjust the blades without completely taking apart the fan. Others have minimal screws and snap on blades. Easy to put together doesn't mean a worse fan.
