What do you consider more important in fitness: Buff x Aesthesics + Opinion on shape.

Whatever you value the most to be honest. Girls prefer aesthetics over how much you can dead lift, squat or curl. I know plenty of people who can lift more than me but look much much smaller than me or look like a bear. They only care about the amount of weight they lift and while they are certainly stronger you wouldn't be able to tell if they are fat or even worked out.

Personally I prioritize aesthetics and functionality. I don't do the bulk for half the year and cut for the other half. I always try to stay lean enough where I can get my abs to be visible in couple of weeks.

I might get hate for this but I also don't invest too much time in the big three (Bench, Squat, Deadlift) I still do them but just don't place too much emphasis.

Depends on your goals. If you play soccer, I'd tell you one thing, if you play rugby, I'd tell you another, if you run marathons, I'd tell you another, and if you do a martial art, I'd tell you another.

If the main reason you work out is to have a body that looks good to women and makes them want to have sex with you, and you don't care that much about actually being good at anything physical, you want a nice chest and broad shoulders, and decent arms and legs.

Being able to squat 500 pounds, doing lots of deadlifts and pullups, and having a six-pack are all nice, but it's your chest, shoulders, arms, and not having stick legs (and your good-looking face) that's going to get you into the bedroom with a woman. By that time, once the clothes are coming off, having a nice back and a six-pack is just extra. The deal was pretty much already sealed when the clothes were coming off.

Functionality first. Aesthetics second. What's the point in being buff as fuck if you're not healthy?
