I'm fine with public transportation (actually kind of enjoy it), so distance is not an issue. I also tend not to go out after dark, so that sort of safety is not an issue.
I am concerned though about zones that don't have good access to public transport. And wonder if any of the zones should be ruled out for just being unattractive or uninteresting. Or any other reason I've missed.
Thank you,

Those zones cover huge areas of Paris with both good and bad neighborhoods. I haven't studied PL 4* in Paris, but I suggest that you do (4* should help).
I wouldn't bid on La Defense-that's a business district and you'll be riding the Metro quite a ways to get most places you want to go (distance does matter, such as when you have two hours to kill and you want to take a nap). It's also deserted at night and on weekends.
