Read the primary literature for the force field you're using.  That's of course 
the first step, otherwise you wouldn't have chosen a force field yet, right? :)

Then look for subsequent citations of that force field in application studies 
related to water.  There are a few for each force field, but generally the water 
model is considered part of the force field and it is rare to deviate from this 
model.  Don't do it unless you have a really, really good reason.
