My most important criterion is how much I love the set. One of my favorite
sets, 4161, the girls' pink oval suitcase, is an example. I love it because
it's a girl set and it has colors I love, and it has pink lampposts. And it
has sentimental value because it was one of the first sets I bought and
allowed myself to keep instead of giving it to a nephew because I was
embarrassed to be playing with LEGO. In the notes I write about the
lampposts, but I also mention the yellow corner slopes for the benefit of
others who may be interested. Still, I only rated it a 90 because I believe
that somewhere out there the Ultimate LEGO Set exists (and I don't mean set
#3800!).
