Sickest Call

Hi all, not sure if this question belongs here, but it is to do with making use of the HUD stats in order to spot a fish.
I play $0.50/1 on full tilt. I generally look at a player's VPIP as a first indicator of how fishy someone is. What I really want to identify is the players who overplay their hands and don't lay down when they should. E.g. Who will pay me off with top pair when I flop overpairs/sets?
Which of the following stats are helpful in determining whether a player overplays? And what sort of numbers will tell me so? This is assuming I have a lot of data on a player like 500+ hands
VPIP
Aggression factor
Won $ when seen flop
Won $ at showdown
Went to showdown
I'm guessing 'went to showdown' is quite important. But if it's a high %, how do you know whether this is a fish who calls down too much, or just someone whose really good at hand reading?
Obviously I also take notes during my games and I can sometimes spot fish by looking at shown down hands. But I'm wondering, if I purely had to rely on the HUD stats, what sort of numbers I should be looking for
