Emotional impact.

That and compositing jobs I could never even conceive of by myself.

How the anime flows to the music. Video sync and some lyrical sync. Some AMVs can still be good even if the sound and video quality are horrid, so that's not much of a big deal to me. Personaly I don't really give a shit if there are subtitles, if the DviX logo is on the screen, if there are special effects, if someone used downloaded footage or not, or even if it's half full screen or half wide screen.

As long as it fits the song it's made to and the anime flows well to the music; to me a good AMV is a good AMV regardless of how it's made.

Hilarious, sarcastic responses to a valid question. Impressive stuff right there.

Though I'm also quite fond of 'cut-outs' - I guess that's the 'super-imposed' thing in tech terms. It's just neat to see. I wouldn't say impressed unless it's done for an entire video like Castor's crossover vids. Good crossovers with lots and lots of cut-outs impress me. ^_^

Lots of other editing things I like or appreciate or prefer. I'm only impressed if it's something I wish I could do. I don't wish for much.

Originality. When someone makes me wish I could have come up with their style/idea/editing I get impressed.

Failing that, I frequently get impressed by how some people can give obviously terrible videos all 10 ops just because it's only the 20,000 vid to use their favorite anime. I don't consider that a good thing but it does definately leave an impression with me.
