obviously this is all within the context of over-thinking things in hyper-detail
Every component has an effect on how your bike rides, so I would consider the effect of it all. I understand your point that comparing/contrasting/isolating is difficult but I think it shouldn't mean you don't do it. If you're putting a bike together, consider everything if you can afford to, otherwise raid your parts bin and go play!
I think stability is a concern relevant to static play as well as moving. IME wheelbase affects stability when hopping, in contact and standing in goal.
