Lana, I agree COMPLETELY! As a matter of fact, I made a thread a few days ago about the EXACT same question. Like for me, I am very sensitive to contacts to my Mercury. I NEED good aspects to my Mercury in my synastries for the simple fact that I LOVE to communicate.
I believe, for a Libra, contacts to their Venus are very important to them. Scorpio, Pluto, and so forth.
I also think that this holds true even more if the person's sign ruler is positively aspected by the rest or most of the other planets. However, if person's sign ruler is negatively aspected in their natal, then they need someone to have aspect in their natal chart positively aspected. This way its not two negatives coming together.
Like me for example, my Mercury is positively aspected by my Sun and Moon. I need my woman to have her natal Mercury positively aspected.
I also think we should look at aspects to the sign ruler, and aspects to the sign ruler and midpoints from it to the other planets. Then as secondary, we do the moon ruler, merc ruler, venus ruler, all their midpoints, and so on.
Here is the thread I made regarding your question.
