Heat control. Cleanliness. High quality tools and solder.

  Temperature control is so inexpensive these days you should not bother with heat control. Unless by heat control you mean the right size tip for the job, in which case we agree.

    I meant in a more general sense, both temperature and heat flux.

      Not for you, but for those that might not get the point: the world of electronics assembly is really strange - it's like the whole past is present with us. It's 2021 and you can still buy a Weller soldering station with a knob for open-loop power (= heat) control for more than you'll pay for a cheapish station with closed-loop temperature control from any number of Chinese brands. (google "Hakko 936 clone"), Closed-loop temperature control is much superior to open-loop power control.
