Overall performance. It also helps if I trust the builder.

I'm curious here, what the hell does trusting the builder have to do with this?

For example, I've built stuff by you, IAC, Dunkis, Mepain, etc. So, if one of those people posted something, I'd make sure to look at it ASAP.

Awsomeness: the general feel of the gun, the "X" factor
Preformance: range, power, accuracy, reload time ect.
Looks: what the gun looks like.

Something unique and cool is what I go for in terms of looks.
Power and reliability are a plus.

Depends...
If it's a replica: looks, power/reliability
Otherwise: innovation, performance, maybe a little bit on the looks
