When selecting fruit look for the sweetest smelling, ripened figs during the late summer to fall.

There is a difference between buying the most expensive ingredients and the highest quality ingredients. You must inspect your food, and hand select what looks, and smells the best. It may not be the most well know brand, but the small local farmers food that belongs on the table.
A variety of sizes and colors is always more fun.
Consider what you are going to be using the ingredients for, if you are looking for a whimsical garnish of fennel, select the smaller baby fennel. If you want some depth to the plate, grab a variety of sizes of figs and plums, then cut them into halves and quarters.
