1 - Genuine originality!
2 - Musicality
3 - Dance floor annihilation material
4 - Well thought out remixes! and this is an important one because so many producers rely on a well established hook or sample to carry their sub par effort along without contributing anything substantial to the track.
5 ...

I think as most genres reach their crescendo of popularity you see branching of subgenre differentiation and specificity.
This gives rise to a stricter definition of what each sub genre is and focus of the producers in question becomes shifted in one direction or another.
