Another rule: never take the counter-offer. Just go. Reason #1 against taking the counter-offer: The boss is already planning to replace you, just on his terms instead of on yours. I.e., you could stay but get laid off as soon as they hire and train a replacement. Reason #2: They didn't respect you properly before, and the information of a new job offer isn't going to fundamentally change that.
