Totally depends on what your traffic source is on what you would need in an affiliate program - like a TGP submitter isn't going to give a rats ass about RSS feeds but may be intersted in free hosting....
For me, the minimum standard a program NEEDS before I even look at it:
- Good reputation with positive history (to prove they can pay me if I send 2,000 joins tomorrow - a lot of smaller companies just can't meet this)
- Credit for exits, or increased $persign for not retaining credit on exits down the line.
- A few other things.....
Basic items like realtime stats, on-time payouts, icq/aim support should I need it, multiple join options I get credit for, epass payouts and such are so standard now that you wouldn't even bother having a program without it. Like buying a car without air conditioning or power windows.....
Affiliates: above all else, do your homework before switching sponsors so you don't need to come onto gfy and bitch about them later down the line.
