(N = needed, NRN = not really needed)
1) Avatar count [N]:
I think thats a basic everyone knows they need to have. People will repsect you if you have a decently high avatar count (250+)
People will lend you basics at pretty much 100+ avatars
FQD, ZDAP, Chokato 190+
BGC 250+
MSPP 270+
SuAP 285+
^Those stats are based on my experience with lenders. Remember it all depends on the lender and of course avatar count isn't the only thing lenders will be looking at.

2) Active avatar [N]:
Having a really hard game avatar or some retired avatar from like 2005 or something like that, or even some really hard random one, is a definite plus. People will see you are skilled/experienced. Here are a some examples (of course there are some other really nice ones you might have):
3) Account age [NRN]:
People won't really judge you if you have an old account or not. Lenders or other people you are trying to impress like to see if you show dedication, and account age doesn't really show that.
You can be 4 months or you can be 9 years but you can still have a good/bad account either way.
4) Nice pets [N]:
It is really good if you have well named pets that are nicely clothed (NC is a big turn on) and possibly if they have good battledome stats and are painted well.
5) Guild [N]:
It's always great to be in a guild with lots of friends/rich people you can trust and can trust you back. That way you can be vouched by them, etc. Also if it's a high requirment guild, that's even better
6) Neohome [NRN]:
Now this is really my opinion, I can care less about my neohome, I can care less about anyone else's neohome, and I will never bother to check a neohome. I feel like it's something really not needed. Of course other people love to design and all that but I feel it's no plus.
7) Stamps/Neodecks [N]:
This is really good, you can easily fill up both your stamps and neodeck for like 300k NPs to make both 100-150+ Of course you can fill them up more but it would be more and more expensive. This is something people really like to judge about.
Stamps:
100
Cheapest 100 Stamps:

Cheapest 100 Neodeck Cards:

8 ) Shop size/gallery size [N]:
If you have a big shop size/gallery size, it means you like to spend NPs for selling and displaying. This is good.
Spoiler
9) Shop quality and quantity/gallery quality and quantity [N]:
If you have a shop with hundreds of codestones/map pieces, etc, it makes your shop look very good. As well as if you some epic display in your gallery like paintbrushes or something very simple like gallery of Shoyru's (for example) it's really good for your account.
Attractive shop:

10) Habitarium [N]:
For someone to look at your Habi just from your lookup and say "cool", then it would be helpful if you had a habi of level 30+ This shows you have (some) dedication for it and it improves your account look. For example
Level: 50
Here's a habi example I found. This would look great.
11) Battledome wins [NRN]:
If you have a low battledome win count, it wouldn't really matter because the judger would want to look and see if you have a good battledome pet. If they see a good battledome pet and not a lot of battledome wins then the person will say "this person can bring up there wins anytime with this pet."
12) Trophies [N]:
Now if you have at least 3 rows of game trophies, it should be enough to make a good impression. I might as well say you can score send like 8 games without and score review to get a trophy like dungeon dash and ugga drop and those games with those max score limit, and you can also use autoplayers for Cheat and all those games. Also if you have really good rankings in previous altador cups, then it will be really good since it shows dedication to that, and obviously previous plots. These are some of the easy ones you can scoresend for (but I don't recommend if your a noob with cheating/SSing): in order: Dungeon Dash, Ugga Drop, Clockwork Codebreaker, Grand Theft Ummagine
13) Kad feeding [N]:
Now this just shows you have great skills and dedication to feeding kads. Anything greater then 25 looks good on your account.
Kadoatery
(>25 fed)
14) Neopets premium [N]:
This is obviously if you have some extra money laying around or you just want it. When lenders or people judging your account see you have premium, they directly know you are dedicated and wouldn't do anything to risk your account. But in my opinion I don't really recommend premium. The most common way to see if someone has premium subscription is looking where there neodeck is on there lookup and:
Neodeck:
(Neodeck Name)
xxx cards (xxx unique)
+Premium Cards
^if you see that under someone's neodeck it means they have premium.
15) Links on lookup/decoration [N]:
What I'm trying to say here is have links to your good friends on neo, have a link to your screenies page (if you have screenies, which I recommend you should have) and make a page of avatars you're currently missing and link to it on your lookup.. Maybe also have your goals written on your lookup! And try to get a cool looking layout for your lookout (nothing to annoying for people though.)
Here is an avatar checklist I use all the time:

16) Number of games played [N]:
Playing games shows you're dedicated to playing neo. Anything above 250 games played is good because 250 also gets you the avatar and that also shows dedication. Here is an amazing checklist for the top gamer avatar (250 games played):
