Well, this is hard of course, since it depends very much on the details. 
There are some things I always want to see:
* bugs with patches that need reviewing
* build failures (except the "I messed up my system" style)
* easily repeatable crashers (that not only the reporter can reproduce)
* strange, highly dup:ed crashers, with at least one good backtrace

Then I'm always interested in good quality bugreports that are not of the 
wishlist variety. If you think a bug is "severe" then I'm probably 
interested, although this is an area where you'll have to use your 
own judgement.

He's a benighted crooked master criminal in a wheelchair. She's a 
strong-willed African-American mermaid who can talk to animals. They fight 
crime!
