What features should I look for? It'll be used in either stubble cornfields or shopped cornfields.

IMO You want one with plenty of leg room, easy to set up,good construction and a zipper bottom so you can clean it out. Other than that they are pretty much all the same.
You might want to buy a foam pad to line the bottom if you are going to be hunting on frozen ground and white snow cover.

Depends on what your situation is. I like the compact finishers since I break mine down to put it away in the truck but some guys have trailers and won't break down the blind so that isn't an issue.
Some like the power hunter but I hate the sleeping bag feel and like to have a bit of room inside the blind for gear and gun.
Other than those two things I agree they all have the same concept.

I have, in the past, always used the FA SUB blind. I like them because they are more sturdy than the Finishers but I just recently bought a Hard Core Man Cave and love it. It is sturdy like the FA but breaks down like the Finisher, has a zippered foot to clean it out when you're done. It also has a waterproof skirt that allows you to hunt in about 4" of water. It also comes with a lumbar cushion that can be moved up to your head to give you a better viewing angle.
I has also been designed to be able to be set up or stowed with gloved hands. Great design. Easy set up.
I know it sounds like a plug for a company I work for, but I am truely impressed with it.

I really like my finisher. I have owned quite a few different blinds. One question is are you going to be calling? If so, I would recommend getting something with a frame on the doors. I have a FA express blind and it is very difficult to call from. I also don't care for the Powerhunter, but I just don't like the hood/door on that because of lack of visibility.
I would look for : Low profile
Framed door ( not just flaps)
Compact breakdown (if you don't have a trailer)
