The only thing a spread does is increase the total score... So good buck will have long main beams, large inside spread and long tine length, as well as good mass through the antlers.
I think what has to be decided on any buck being a 'Good' buck is a good combination of the above. Take a look at the B&C website for record deer and it will give you an idea.
I have seen large deer that didn't not have a huge spread, but did very well overall in total score.
Hope that makes some sense.
