You might also find that a faster, less crapshoot approach to finding quality covers is to use the Search the Internet plugin to search google images. That way you can preview from a whole bunch of sites (not just the few that there are metadata download plugins for) and have more choice of sizes etc. In fact one of the additions I customised on my STI menu is an advanced google search which searches for covers above a certain size, that cuts down the noise even further.

Once you see a cover you like, just drag/drop it onto the book details pane or edit metadata window, you can see the tooltip for the existing image to compare sizes etc.

Much faster than repeatedly calling download covers with different plugins enabled/disabled and guaranteed to get much more choice.
