I'd say for me I don't even look at pearls unless the size and color are right. I only start prioritizing after these two criteria are met. Tentatively:
1. Price
2. Color/overtone
3. Size
4. Luster
5. Orient
6. Surface
7. Shape
But having said that any of the above can kill the deal for me. I hardly return pearls I buy online because I know what to expect - if it's AA+ I don't expect AAA quality, but if something is not what it's stated to be e.g. fleabay purchases I'd rather not risk it. I haven't been too disappointed so far apart from Chinese sizing.
