The ability to skip a kit during your commitment. Some companies will only allow a certain number of skips per commitment.
I love all the extras that can come with kits, from buttons to tags, the more I have, the more creative and better my pages turn out to be. The other great thing about Add-Ons is if you want them, great, but if not it you don't make a huge investment in the kit each month. Generally you can make other purchases from their website to ship with the kits, but Add-Ons coordinate directly with the kit, and are sometimes discount priced.
I don't know about anyone else, but I like a good deal. I also factor into this rating if I use all of the products in the kit, and if I like the finished product.
