For my money, I love very detailed critiques. What some may call nitpicking, I call valuable. The only time I don't consider someone's comment is when style becomes the issue. In the end, you always have the option on whether or not to utilize their advice.
You really need to find critique partners that understand your goals, style, & vision. Establishing a good group to work with can do wonders. One thing though...You as the author bear some responsibility for directing the people critiquing your work. Tell them what you're looking for specifically. Also, consider a critique partner like you would any relationship. It may take time to work well together, and effort from both parties.
