If you want a recip that obviously cares about authors and will write you feedback with as much consideration that I’m guessing you put into their stories, the top tier good commenter recips are known and right there. Treat them, game to match with them, etc. Again, you are in charge of your Yuletide experience. Recips can’t use the same type of agency to game themselves a good author. If bad recips bother you, get a good recip.

I'm mostly in exchanges for the writing. I love getting good gifts, but a meh gift won't ruin my exchange the way a non-commentor/meh comment will. But that's why if I'm assigned to someone who, based on their history, is not a good commentor, I make sure to make time to write at least one treat for someone who is, so that I'm guaranteed some of the good feedback warm fuzzies for that exchange.
