I like to do my due diligence in making my choices for coins that I feel will survive a bear market and why. I like to see the market cap, what percentage it takes, where can I find more information about it and its development team. After all this process is done, I need to decide if the technology is user friendly or not because otherwise it is doomed to fail.

I assume most altcoins will not survive the current bear market. There are lots of coins born almost every time. These coins simply do not provide enough blockchain use cases or benefits to warrant their existence, especially in a market where more than 80% of ICOs fail to reach the exchange. Also, altcoins without a unique use case will have a hard time attracting users and miners.
