All of the criteria that you mentioned, but as you already know, it's mostly about what the HC (or PC) wants for you. IMO, the criteria is a little different for pitchers and position players, but the primary goal is to get better. For a position player, that means facing better pitching and getting as many ABs as possible. For pitchers, I would be more concerned with the staff's track record of taking care of arms.

Secondarily, what kind of summer experience is the player looking for? Summer at the Hamptons? First trip to California? Hot weather vs cooler weather? Playing with college teammates vs going somewhere alone? Crowd size? All could be factors.
