Which advanced surface properties are important?

What advanced surface properties are important for users to be able to adjust? EnergyPlus has the concept of hierarchical defaults for many things (like heat balance algorithm). Which levels of the hierarchy are most important (e.g. do you more often change the heat balance algorithm for the entire model, for a particular construction, or for a specific surface)? We are planning on adding support for a few new advanced surface properties in OpenStudio, please feel free to comment on this document.
