Maybe you can find some criterions in standards or handbooks. But, which kind of material you select depends on a lot of factors, such as ambient temperature, operating time,cooling medium and method,etc. At last, you have to select it yourself through experience and caculation.

Material and processing cost usually play a big part too - not covered by the standards though.
