I think this is a very personal set of questions. Everyone North South and in between will have a different answer.

For me a good sauce has a nice balance of flavours. I like fruity sauces over vinegar based sauces. Sweet with a bit of heat.

Bad sauce to me lacks depth or is imbalanced.

Usually I just buy one of every sauce I run across and try them.
 
I make my own because I can control the taste. I like a balance between vinegar and some of the Kansas City style...its got the KC color but not the thick sweetness...and it also has a more vinegar consistency with that vinegar twang to it.

I RARELY BUY SACUE...if I do its because I need to have something around for a big party. Some folks don't have the pallet for my sauce and like the liquid smoke crap from the stores.
 
Its a personal thing. This song explains it well. & yes I know it been posted before
