From my experience, my mentor had a pretty wide knowledgebase to work from, but even in the areas he know little about (such as my capstone), he was still invaluable in immediately grasping the core elements of what should be covered, and helping me to organize it. I wouldn't worry about finding someone with particular expertise. I would recommend that if there's any way you can get August Black, that you choose him as your mentor. His sections fill up fast, he is very highly regarded, and one of the top 3 professors I've had anywhere. Incredibly available, helpful, patient, and just a great guy.
