I think I'm going to have to say hanging is the most important part. (And by hanging I mean being able to hang yourself as well as being able to stop your opponent from hanging.)

Basically, everything else is dependent. If you corral balls really well, you need a good human player in order for it to do you any good. You need both of those if the multiplier ball is going to be of any use to you. If you can knock the 10 point ball in auto, you do gain an advantage by releasing the balls early...but you still need to corral and score them.

Hanging= 50 points. Period.

Obviously it's not quite that simple, but those are my two cents.
