of the most important things, to me

One, is what the method of selecting a frequency is. If you have to push a
button that raises the frequency one step at a time, you have to sit there
and wait, and watch as it scrolls around to what you want. Pain in the but,
I think. I like a keyboard to enter the numbers.

Second, is how easy is it to put a frequency into memory. If it is not
something you do often, is it going to be difficult to remember the sequence
of buttons to get the right things flashing and entered, whatnot, to get the
job done?

Some personal experience points about the A24:

Frequency selection can be accomplished via keypad or rotary knob, take
your pick. The keypad can be locked out so inadvertent changes are
ignored. Holding the 121.5 key for a few seconds overrides the lockout.

Memory - The A24 remembers the last (10) frequencies used, in addition
to the current, so I've never bothered with memories or alpha tags. In
my personal experience, I'm consulting a chart or AF/D for much more
than the last 10. Hitting the "CLR" key drops you out of the 10
memories back to the current.
