I think for the final you need to know and work with your editor. I take part in a critique group that is very good at illuminating misunderstandings and grammar problems, but it happens in disconnected bits and pieces. After my manuscript was "finished," a few qualified members offered to do a more invested front-to-back edit. I purposely chose the person who least "gets" my style, but because we already valued each other's expertise in differing areas, we worked well together.
