The only 2 things you really want to control are thickness and relative curvature (between the inside and outside of the cane). In both cases, experience will tell you as much as anyone else can. 2 important links are:

It's possible that my old klunker is a Graf. I HATE IT precisely because it has too many possible settings. If I can convince my wife, its possible that in the near future I'll buy a new one.

Whatever you do, keep away from those models that use a double wedge to adjust height: I think nowadays its the roller itself that goes up and down. This is important to ensure parallelism between the bed and the movement of the plane (blade).

I am now favouring having as many things "machined-in" as opposed to adjustable.

Best of luck.
