I take it you already know about the don't throw the cats together right off the bat. Have a separate room and all that.
When you go to the shelter some shelters have "cat rooms" where the cats can interact with each other and roam around. If they do ask what cat seems to be the most easy going in there. You don't want to bring one home that seems to have trouble adapting to other animals. I haven't heard any general rules of thumb. I have found that my female who is 5yrs old gets along better with the younger cats (a two yr old and a 10 month old) then the 8 yr olds. Some times an older cat has a harder time adjusting.
I am sure others will have better advice.
