Who / What evaluates them?
Bloks.io uses this github repo and asks anyone who wants to have their token listed on their site to submit a PR. https://github.com/eoscafe/eos-airdrops Ignore that they named it eos-airdrops, it is for all tokens (including non-airdropped).
Bloks.io used to use our API which uses multiple sources such as Chaince and Newdex.io to create a single source of EOS token data. They migrated to newdex.io.
Our API is freely available at: https://blocksense.one/api/token.json
Also, I think Bloks.io does not "evaluate" the EOS token projects before listing them on their site. They are a block producer and provide this listing service as part of their community efforts.

I hope this helps.
