I'm looking for the 10 most important factors in either buying a wc block or making a wc block. So, go crazy :P
I'll start off with mine:
1. Performance
2. Size
3. Price

Apart from the above, I would consider the mountings/connector! ;)
Some blocks using 3/8" say, but some other components using mm in hose size, it will cause trouble.
You should plan before you make the order: how can I connect them with minimum fittings and optimised hose size, say 13mm OD? :)
