Only two of those areas are in play, fluid pressure can't change and pad selection is an option for most bbk. + Having good brake torque is great, having it after multiple hard stops is better. Ultimately I think cooling is king. Larger two piece rotors produce less heat and dissipate it better.
Also, the longer the distance from the fulcrum, the less pressure needed to produce the same torque.
