Wonderful?
Well, I wouldn't go that far, only because I don't think a wonderful list can be constructed. Economic diamond deposits are still pretty rare, after all. ;-)
As for weighting, yes, some are far more important than other factors, but many of the correlations are very low. As Eric suggests, it's more of the presence of a large number of items that attracts attention.
I keep my list somewhat shorter, and I leave it suitably vague in some respects, but proximity rates very highly, as do some of the geochemistry items, leading to a cold geotherm. The diamond ones shouldn't make the list at an early stage, as you presumably haven't tested core yet, and once you have, the other factors rapidly decline in importance.
