Any incubator or accelerator being the right fit is really dependent on the company.
None are right for every company, and as you may know, incubators and early stage accelerators have exploded in growth over the past couple years (there are so many now, and not all are worth your time).
Vetting that any one has worthwhile resources for you is important. Mainly you're thinking of longterm benefits like the network they provide and not shorter term ones like how much cash they exchange for 3–10% of your company.
The best way to get advice about any accelerator is to talk to founders who have already gone through it about their experience. You can easily find YC companies and early- to mid-stage founders are more likely to reply to your emails. Though a referral from a mutual connection would be best, you can reach any YC co with the founders@ email.
By the way -- this advice is about improving your odds in applying to YC, once you're at the offer stage it's a different question. I don't know many founders that would turn down the YC offer after being accepted.
