Can anyone tell me how good the route markings are and what criteria is required to receive the Finisterana certificate?

Welcome Jock. The route is very well marked. Get your passport stamped at each albergue on the way there as normal then when you get to Finisterre go to the albergue at the town centre and get your compostella there.
Buen Camino.

Thanks. If the albergues are full and you have to go elsewhere will it still count?

No, stay where ever you wish, every cafe, bar, albergue, and hostal will have stamps. You just have to prove you walked.

Hoping to do a short stretch from Negreira to Muxia in May 2015. Still at the planning stage.

Out of curiosity, do the private hotels en route also have stamps or only the hostals/albergues?

I found stamps in all the bars/cafes I stopped at. I only stayed in albergues, but it would surprise me if hotels were not able to stamp your credencial.

All the private hotels have stamps. If, for some reason, they do not have a stamp handy, just ask them to write the name of the hotel in the next space on your credential, and to sign it, and date it.

I didn't consider going past Santiago, I am so very glad I did, only day one into my walk to Finisterre and it is beautiful.

I missed markers a couple of times. It means backtracking till you find the path again. Marking is sparser than the Frances but it is adequate.

Hotel, tourist offices (officina de tourisma), municipal offices (concello de .....), churches, libraries, pharmacies (farmacia), even grocery stores have stamps. and fyi, you don't have to stay in an albergue to ask for a stamp, at least I didn't. Most recommend getting at least 2 stamps a day, but you can get as many as you like.
