[Meta thread] Iron's PokeRole Adventure: The Skull Ruins

That's a pretty good way of looking at it.  Loyal but disobedient pokemon are another major thing to consider.  Happy but disobedient pokemon probably aren't as likely to act in their trainer's best interests as a loyal one, if it comes down to one or the other being a factor.

Of course, the two stats tend not to stray to far from each other for the most part, since loyal pokemon are more often than not really happy with their trainers.

This issue came up exactly once for me so far, when Apsis felt like having some tasty artic fox.... Good thing she's my most loyal mon now, counteracting that Disobediance! Happiness has always been more of a priority for me, since Togepi evolves from the emotion, but now I want to max out Corsola's loyalty as well. After all, Corsoreef is pretty nastily...
