I prefer accuracy over detail. Some people spend weeks adding stickers and signs and textures to their plane, then put the landing gear in the wrong place and make the wings too small. FIRSTI look for the features of the plane that make it unique. (The huge afterburners on the Mig-29, the long nose and gull wings on a Stuka, the moving nose on a Concorde)
Second I look for performance. Can it land safely? Does it fly properly? Does it turn way too fast?
THIRD I look for authenticity. Is it the right shape and size? Is it proportioned well? Does it carry the right weapons?
FOURTH Last is detail. Detail is extra. It doesn't do anything but it looks cool. Cool looking stuff that doesn't work is not cool to me. Building replicas means learning about how something works, how it was made, not just slapping a shark mouth on the nose. Building creative, imaginary things should still be about making something that works, that is believable, that visually matches what it is supposed to do.
I would prefer (and I know a few people who’d agree with me) a build that looks great and flies great too to a build that looks even better but sucks to fly. However, I do fancy some ultra-high detail builds, if they’re done within a somewhat reasonable part limit.
As for the amount of detail that’ll impress me, I’m not really sure. Lots of functional stuff is quite impressive (e.g. working cockpit instruments, realistic landing gear (suspension, doors ect), a nice paint job, smooth/accurate modelling of the plane and so on. But there’s a point where, as Aaron said below, you can kinda go overboard, but that point is different according to everyone’s preferences
There’s kind a sweat spot. I don’t mean to be mean to you obviously but the junkers your building has a lot of detail and it is impressing how you did that but it’s to confusing to look at, that’s why at least to me I don’t like how it looks. You’ll still get a lot of upvotes ect but I like it because It took forever to build and it was hard to add those details, not because I like those details. I think I just repeated myself a ton of times
Then U won't be disappointed by my upcoming creation @F104Deathtrap

Thanks guys for your feedback. Cause I’m reducing parts on my F 13. I’ll have to delete 800 parts and see what parts you guys consider unnecessary
I build that has functionality, I can see stuff actually move, it looks good, and flies well.
Stab the banan
It’s a balance of performance, detail, and part count.
You are a slave to our affections now.
DEW IT
