I'll agree with most of that and I can speak from experience that the following will effect general performance:
Seals with debri in them.
Seals that are dry.
Sliders that are not properly cared for and lubed.
Pistons and or bores that are scored and not allowing smooth operation.
Pads that are binding up in the brackets which hold them.
Pads worn down too far and binding at an angle.
Glazed or oiled pads which no longer have the proper bite.
Most of this effects both the clamp and release of the piston and can lead to dragging or the opposite; too much pull back.
Pads that are of the lower Cf and or oiled/glazed are an obvious one.
We'll assume now that you are speaking of the fronts only? Don't overlook a problem in the rear that makes you think front either.
