Deciding 3rd party library

Hi all,

How do you people decide which opensource 3rd party library to include in a production environment, e.g for logging I can use either spdlog, Quill, Log4cplus, etc
Not every system is a HFT, in a general production system, how would you usually decide a library, practically speaking, I can get the logs through all of them but which one you would choose, I just took example of logger libs, it can be anything, I would like to understand how you all come to conclusion! do you usually study the whole library before using it?
