I think it's more about the relationship than about the client. A great client for you can be a nightmare for me.
Other than that, there are some basics: a great client gives you material (texts, photos,...) on time and in a convenient format, he shows up at meetings, he pays you on time,...
Having a decent InDesign competitor would be really nice.
Bird I guess...
I usually don't charge hourly for design work, unless it's maintenance and small work (eg.: vectorize some stuff,...).
Apart from salary, location. I don't want to lose 2-3 hours a day in commute. If you work 9 hours a day, in real your job is costing you 12 hours a day.
