If you choose based on illustrations, you're bound to regret it.
It's not a manga, so of course you'll prioritise the content.
But the synopsis is usually the same anyway, following the template.
But the title usually INCLUDES the synopsis!!

Haha, that commenter is so right. Those ridiculously long titles usually give me an idea of what the story will be about.
