Getting on plane quick counts most in my opinion, second in reliability.
I have a Yamaha 150, it runs good, and starts good, except in cold weather.
It's slow to start in cold weather and it sometimes dies when shifting from fwd to rev.
Most of the times it dies is when I really really need it to NOT die.

I have a 150 YAMAHA 4 stoke to. My motor is NOT any harder to start in cold weather. Like you mentioned, when going from reverse to forward or forward to reverse mine will kill to only if I move the throttle shift quickly from one to the other. If I do it slowly it does not.
