(guy in the left corner):Cheung is the best!
(guy in the back):My sifu's the best!
(guy in the right corner):Moy family is the best!
(guy over there):Leung Ting for life!

Noone could ever tell you what a good "style" of Wing Chun is.
Want to see if what an instructor has to offer is any good? Research Wing Chun, the different styles and ideas behind it. Watch a class....and join for a bit. If over a few classes, it doesn't vibe with what you want - an instructor using the skills they have aquired in a "test environment" where there are resisting opponents (you could always volunteer for that position) - then quit and go somewhere else. If you don't want to put in the time to do the research, go train something else.
Some instructors are happy with what their Sifu gave them and stick with just that. Some instructors push the limits on their knowledge and experience. Some are very traditional - studying only the forms of Wing Chun and the techniques only taught. Some instructors dabble in other arts to keep what they have fresh. Some mix.
So, find a teacher that resonates with what YOU want. Noone could ever recommend a "better" style of family. Just because I saw this guy down the street doing TKD and he totally sucked doesn't mean that I am invincible against a spinning roundhouse coming at 140mph!
