I don't know if any one of those is any more important than the other. The
trick to a truly great model is to find the right balance between all three.
It also may depend on what you want to get out of the model. For example,
with my Viking Longship, all three of these were vitally important. It HAD
to be brown, it HAD to have a working rowing system, and it HAD to have a
great shape. Finding the balance of all three without severely diminishing
any of them has to be done. So I guess my formula for that project would be
A = B = C.
Now, for a large sculpture, Overall form and color are the most important
features, and structural integrity only matters if you plan on moving the
thing, but even then, you can't ignore the structure in order to get a nice
shape, as it'll crumble under its own weight. Again, it's all about finding
the balance.
