As soon as I used my first scuttle (SRD) I was hooked and have never gone back.
I have used and own
Georgetown G20- nice, clean lines ridges for lathering, keeps brush warm
Moss scuttle - frogs eyebrow is a neat color, good looking pot, thought the seams would be nicer, good job of keeping the brush warm
Scharzweisskeramik - awesome heat and very smooth lines, beautiful pot with ridges for lathering
Various etsy pots - most lacked enough water capacity to keep the lather warm through the shave but we're well made.
What do I look for? Warmth comes from over 12oz of hot water, good seams that are not going to cut me. A color choice that goes well with my den. Room enough to move the brush a bit, ridges, bumps, or dimples for creating lather.
I wish Jays clays was making his bowls into scuttles. His bowl, ridges, shapes are unique and if I do go bowl for a day that is where I will make my lather.

I have a Robert Becker scuttle 005.very well made and a pleasure to use. I think he has retired.Been using the scuttle for the past two years and have found for me this is the best way to lather.

I typically face lather and haven't considered a scuttle until this year.
I browsed a few threads here & there over a few weeks time and ended up ordering a GP G20.
The water capacity seems important in maintaining temperature, and a lot of folks appreciate the plug to help contain the water and avoid spills.
I ordered a 2nd and when the weather turns I'll break it out and give it a whirl.

Love my Georgetown Pottery G20. The size is perfect for heat retention, and the bowl size allows plenty of space for building lather. I also like the stopper so that I can dump excess water runoff back into the soap dish while loading without dumping the heating water.
That said the handle needs to be more of a sturdy grip shape to accommodate the water weight than the traditional mug loop. Handsome, but not as ergonomic.
I am always looking for new stuff.

I have a Moss and Georgetown G12 Scuttle, they are both great performers, just heavy to hold and not easy to grip sometimes
even though Bombay is hot most of the time, the feeling of warm soap being lathered on your face, is simply divine.
I also experience a much smoother shave the day I use my scuttle to lather.
