AIRNAV

It is a good place for fuel and other information. i.e., they'll tell you what approaches are available at the airport you are looking at. Reviews by users will give you a clue as to what to expect.

In Metro Dallas, there are lots of places, but I was coming in on a day when I knew the weather was going to be marginal, and I wanted to be close to the folks I was visiting. That left F46 (VOR-A, NDB) or DAL (ILS). I chose DAL. 400 feet and 2 miles when I landed. Given a preference in marginal weather, I prefer an ILS and a control tower.

Check out airnav. You can do trip planning. It will search out a route, given your parameters, which will minimize your fuel expenses. That's how I figured out to go to TBN (localizer) vs UBX (NDB).

The information at Airnav is only as good as the people submitting it, but you can get a flavor for the places, and if you contribute, you help others.
