2) The choice of hydrating catalyst (beer, tea, wine, coffee etc.) is similarly very important, and will vary widely depending on time of day, day of week, social occasion etc.

Fair comment. The omission of the bread factor does seem surprising. I would add:
4) Ratio of bread to bacon by volume
Notable gourmands like us may normally favour hunks of high-quality bread, but too much of the stuff in a bacon sarnie can cause disappointment. In fact, it's one of those occasions when the much derided, mass-produced sliced white bread may be considered not just a worthy choice but the preferred choice. Same goes for toast -- but we'd better not get started on that one. 'Good bread' usually comes in slices too thick to allow the pleasures of the meat to shine through.
Audacious April.
