IMO, quality is important... More important than an animal having a lot of genes involved. If I was in your shoes and wanting to start breeding (I assume you already own BPs?), then I would select one project and get maybe 2 females that would work with that project to start growing up and then hunt for the perfect male to go with them.
I like reduced pattern and a lot of contrast, also if a breeder can show you pics of the parent animals that will help tell you how yours might mature. Some BPs hold color a lot better than others, so this could be important in the long run.
Also keep in mind that when you have many genes at play in one clutch, it can be more difficult to accurately label what they are... Especially if you are new to breeding.
Finally, you may want to look at your local market. If you are planning on shipping, then this isn't as big of a factor, but some people sell mostly locally and certain morphs are more popular in certain areas. If you want to do local sales and your local market is slow on BPs (hard to move) then maybe plan on starting small and seeing how your results are before producing a lot of clutches. This also plays into why it is important to breed what you like... you might have to hang onto the entire clutch for a while to move them and make less profit, so it's better to like what you're producing and enjoy the animals.
