As another alliance captain low-goal-only robot, we had a similar list for each event we went to. I think the key is to understand your priorities; therefore you can understand what you want in potential alliance partners, no matter if you are picked, or are doing the picking.

Couldn't have said it any better. Honestly, as long as you have good data, as well as any supplementary info you may want (pit scouting, qual scouting, etc.) and are prepared for any scenario, that's all you need.
