What’s the circuit? Resistors are resistors, and their main property is the nominal resistance. All other things depend on where the resistor is used:
- Tolerance (how important is the exact resistance value in the given circuit?).
- Footprint (if you have an existing PCB).
- Power rating (if exposed to enough voltage, and the resistance is low enough, it needs to be able to handle the current going through it)
- Temperature coefficient (if used in temperature-sensitive precision circuits, where the resistance value must change in the same way as other component values elsewhere in the circuit)
- Voltage rating (if using in high-voltage circuits)
- Packaging (if you’re using a machine to populate your PCBs)
For most cases, the first and maybe the second additional property is all that matters.
