Great question - I have actually written a fairly lengthy article addressing this, but it's 4 key areas with many sub questions:
ICO Due Dilligence Checklist and Resources
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.30340049
TL:DR I'd say my absolute top 5 are:
1. Net worth of industry - what's the point in a clever idea if there's not much room to expand?
2. Team qualifications, integrity and history
3. Real use case that solves a real problem or provides an otherwise unattainable service
4. Network size (or potential network size)
5. Existing product

1st - Technology. You should know and identify first their technology or special feature. Who is/are will be using.
2nd- Hardcap/softcap. You should also identify their hardcap or softcap so that you will know if they will success.
3rd- Team. This is also important because identifying the team will be the one reason that project will be success.
4th- Exchange listing. Some ICO is already announcing their exchange before will start the ICO.
5th- Social medias account. They should be active on their different social media accounts.
2nd- Hardcap/softcap. You should also identify their hardcap or softcap so that you will know if they will success.

You don't need top 5 to know which is the best ICO and nobody can tell as well if this ICO will work after Crowdsale.It always depends on the staff of the project if they are really dedicated to their project and also depend on the community on how they are supporting it.Some projects are good in the beginning but after few week became shit coin.So just take a risk and try to diversify your money.Rember not to invest all your money.
The crypto market is an alternative too. it is hard to follow the data in the crypto money market. you can think ico if the amount of your money is small. my favorite ico sether eristica lts.
Very good choice.

There are a lot of things to look out for when analysing an ICO. I mainly look out for:
1 the idea behind the project. Is it solving any problem? Is the technology accessible? Etc
2 the road map. I look at their milestones, where they are on the roadmap. How soon to get to exchange. Etc
3 the team and advisors.

5 Read their white paper

Personally, I look for these:
1. Purpose of the coin/token. it is important to know the future use of the coin.
2. the technology. the adaptation of the coin in this booming world of technology, because it may determine the timeline, or how long the tech may be use.
3. the people behind the coin/token. simply because we don't wanna send our money to people we don't know. and also their vision.
4. the social media, links, and website. this will show how serious they are with the project.
5. Lastly, the expert investors
simply because I trust they're expertise that the ICO is Good!

simply because I trust they're expertise that the ICO is Good! I agree with this because I dont think enough people look for the purpose of the coin. Most people just want to profit and to 10x. If you're not investing for the actual product behind it, what's the point?

On my own opinion the top 5 things to look for a good ICO are:
1. Good Whitepaper- make sure to read them first before buying any coin.
2. Promising road map- they should have a plan for the future development of the product.
3. Number of supporters in the community- make sure they have a huge number of followers on their different social media account.
4. Trustworthy background of the developer/people behind it.
5. Working product

I totally agree with your 5 list, but there are things that i can add from this, which are their timeline and availability of recent product. VLB has a good timline and plan fot the money received from ICO time and they have 2 company as their recent product (CarFix and CarPrice) which can be integrated to the project of VLB, and these 2 companies is running perfectly now in europe and CarFix even has a partnership with Uber.

1. Idea
2. Strong team (advisors)
3. Good Whitepaper
4. Roadmap
5. Community
the VLB project have all of it. For me, as car-lover, it's must-have token. Adequate cap, strong advisors from IBM and QIWI.Just read their whitepaper, it's an example for the other ICO's
"Idea" is most important! With good idea it will be easier to
find "Strong Team" that can work that idea and give it a place
in reality. "Whitepaper" . "Roadmap" needs to show to the people
who are you, your idea and how you plan to develop that idea.
Without "Community" and followers nothing from above stated is
not matter.
I will check that VLB project. Signature I wearing will take you
to Cedex, certified BlockChain based diamond exchange. They
have it all too. When you check it, you will see it is not a waste
of time.
