Derek Piggot's book "Gliding Safety" has a somewhat dated chapter on
the suitability of a number of gliders for pilots of various skill
levels.

If you do a search on this usenet for any specific glider you'll
typically find a number of opinions posted over the years. Things like
"pilot satisfaction scores, flight reviews, safety track record" seem
to be a standard part of the postings.
