How do you select a new drilling rig?

It depends on what exactly you are trying to do. The depth you want to drill to; the depth of water you are working in; what type of media you are trying to drill through; the location of the job. There are many types of rig availible; when you know what you want to then you would contact one of the (many) drilling companies who would explain the best options for you.
