Location of sign.. time of year... LOCATION of sign.
I usually don't hunt over sign... but use it intimately to get the answers I need. But I will hunt near the sign if the location and timing of year dictate me so. Wind direction included.

Not only is he handsome, he's a hell of a deer hunter.
Hunt terrain, not sign 90% time(here in MI) they are making that sign at night. Sign tells me where the deer was at night.
If you want to shoot a mature buck, hunt where they are during daylight(Don Higgins) They are not by any of the signs you listed, but one

My favorite place to hunt is a funnel. If I can find a funnel in my area the stuff on your list will show up on its own. I used to spend all my time stomping all over the woods looking for rubs, scrapes and everything that we were "supposed" to be hunting over. Like I said though, ever since I started hunting funnels all of these things seem to come to me

I don't Hunt sign. It's nice to see a Big Rub or Scrape, but it has little bearing on where I locate my stands.
Wind, Terrain breaks, terrain, and cover in general. There are many time I can circle a property on the road and pick a stand location within yards. I have done it before and scored first time in.

All the talk of "sign" hunting...
