There are so many variables here that would be hard to describe it without charts
But I do agree with Jeff that builder is probably more important than the wood itself. I think body size and players hands (as Oilrunner mentioned) and attack is also important, if not more important than the wood. Then there is bracing and voicing. It goes on and on.
I've played many guitars where I've heard totally opposite what they "should" have sound like on the paper.

If I was choosing a fingerstyle guitar (which I will soon I would prioritize it this way:

1. Builder
2. Size
3. bracing and voicing
4. neck size and profile
5. top wood
6. back and sides
