How much would you be willing to pay for this functionality (software will be open source, but there is hardware as well)?

I always wanted to print a mold for PDMS microfluidic chips using a "form 1" 3D printer (that one who got funded on kickstarter). They say that it have 10 microns of resolution on Z axis.
When I was about to try it on a local FAB Lab, the printer got broke! If it was worked out, I would suggest to consider a 3D printer for the molds.
I think its about time for people go for digital fabrication methods on microfluidics.

What I want to know is:What types of features and designs would be most important to include?

Most likely if you want fine features of <~25 microns. Photoresist is cheap though, exposing it is the trick needing a good solution.

I believe there is a better way to approach your marketing survey. Find a protocol that needs to be done DIY. Then create a microfluidics solution which fits that protocol. Repeat with three different protocols. Then you have something interesting. For example, Genomikon is a kit using very good DIY synbio protocol. Now just make a microfluidics version. This solves multiple problems. The reagents are expensive, and microfluidics allows this cost to be significantly reduced per experiment run, by reducing the volume of liquid used. The microfluidics version would also remove human error in liquid handling, reducing waste (thus also total cost per experiment) and schedule delay.
The most important feature of your product however is very simply going to be better yields.

In February we gave a sneak preview of our project to construct a home-built three dimensional fabricator. Our design goals were (1) a low cost design leveraging recycled components (2) large printable volume emphasized over high resolution, and (3) ability to use low-cost printing media including granulated sugar. We are extremely pleased to be able to report that it has been a success: Our three dimensional fabricator is now fully operational and we have used it to print several large, low-resolution, objects out of pure sugar.

Omg, this sugar stuff is so awesome! Thanks for sharing!
By the way, have you already seen this open hardware for microfluidics control!? This is another cool DIY thing to have on a lab that plans go on microfluidics.
