I think the bare minimum features would be (in addition to manual reviewing and listing of links, of course):

- Static pages (not dynamic)
- Recip checker
- Duplicate checker
- Broken link checker
- Blacklist controls

Nothing too fancy. Many of the cheaper and even free scripts can do all this EXCEPT the first bullet. Ultimately THAT's what I'll be paying for. I don't really see much point in a Link List if its not SE friendly.

In researching I've seen a lot of sites that are built on feature-rich scripts but don't utilize most of the fancier user features the script offers (reviews, ratings, report broken link, added on [date], hits, etc). I assume they got the more advanced script for the admin functionality and NOT the user functionality... so if a developer is looking for one spot to trim fat the best bet would probably be to trim the fancier user functionality and leave as much admin as possible. Just my 2 cents.
