Totally depends on what you looking for. If you have a tech matter, I'd stick to the bay area heavy hitters. Lobbying and political clout, D.C. Firms. Old school or complex litigation-New York or Chicago. Also, if it is litigation, I'd focus on firms with a large presence in your venue (they'll know the judges).
Also, don't count out small boutique firms. Some of the best IP lawyers and class action lawyers run offices with less than 10 lawyers.
Keep in mind that if you aren't spending high 6 figures plus a year on legal, you may have a "name firm" but in reality a third year associate is doing all the work. A name partner at an established firm is not doing your work (even if he signs the pleadings or memo) unless you spending big money.
