Really it's a simple flowchart for me:
1)Do conditions support isolated storms?
2)Is the shear/instability combo good enough to produce good storm structure, if not tornadoes?
3)Is the storm speed/terrain combo doable or am I just going to spend $50 to go watch a storm blow past me at 60mph?
Photo and video wise, the very best storms always are the highly structured/isolated ones to me. The lighting is always best, and you always have some good opportunities for various shots in a day. Personally I prefer a bare minimum of 60 dewpoints, and 35kts of bulk shear with storm motions below 30mph. The biggest key though to great photos/video will always be isolated supercells in my mind.
