For me: relevance first, then real traffic, editorial placement, and overall site quality—a relevant link that sends genuine users is usually worth far more than a high-DR link from an unrelated website.
I would look beyond DR or DA. The strongest signals are topical relevance, an indexed and genuinely visited referring page, editorial placement, sensible anchor text, and a domain history consistent with its current subject.
traffic and actual clicks are everything now. a link on a DR 70 site with zero organic visits is basically worthless imo. indexing is also getting harder so if it doesnt index within a week or two it's a dead link anyway.
