Choose the 3 most important chip qualities to you.
 
Weight (leaded), base color, spot color.

Progression is somewhat important but color is more important for me. It does irk me when a higher denom chip isn't as nice as a lower denom chip though.

Shaped or textured inlays is a big bonus.

Fantasy chip, actual casino or private chip doesn't matter to me. I'm getting them to put in play and not keep because of the history.
 
To me if it looks right and feels right then I like it & I'll keep it.

Lots of different ways it can look & feel right like being on a good mold, having a nice spot progression, nice looking inlay, good weight, good feel, but all it takes is one bad thing and I'm either not buying in the 1st place or I would not keep them.
 
Colours (base and spots), Edge Spots, and spot progression within a set (if that were an option).
 
For me: weight > history/casino > shaped; my number 4 would be color(s) whether it's inlay, spot, or base.
 
It’s hard to limit it to 3, but I’d have to go with the following:

- Chip design (I can’t really separate color, pattern, and spots)
- historical (actual casino/cardroom)
- weight/leaded
