Need Company Search Database for Small Platform Company

I am an analyst for a small platform company that is looking to begin making acquisitions. My boss has tasked me with evaluating our options for private company search databases.

Here are the choices: Zapdata Alacra Hoover's Onesource FindSVP Kompass ThomasRegister

Do any of you have experience with these? What is the best organized way to find acquisition targets (Yes I am aware of "sourcing").
