For me there is only one really important criterion - response. One responsive reed will sound pretty much like another on the same mouthpiece - the resonance comes with responsiveness if I'm doing things right inside my mouth. Likewise, it should be in tune if it's vibrating evenly without needing to be forced or have extra pressure applied.
