Everything from texture to flavor. You should use a blend of meat (beef, pork and veal), use panade, herbs and other seasoning judiciously. It's not that anyone's homemade meatloaf is bad, but rather that various commercial/butcher blends hit all the right notes for various people.
(I actually quite like mine, but I'm not the final judge.)
