You got the list of common parts needing replacement perfect. Here are some other (probably repeated items) to avoid
bolt on wheelsets (unless you go very cheap)
chrome / steel wheels
bikes over 30 lbs
straight bar bikes
stem shifters (not a killer but not the best)
some side pull brakes that have a very cheap feel - you'll know
bolt on chainrings
Some good things
sub 25 lbs
alloy wheels
700c wheels
alloy anything
cloth bar tape (usually rotting but usually on better quality bikes)
shields and other etchings on drop bar tops
Suntour components
bar end shifters
