I'll click the Kudos button if I enjoyed the story overall, even if there were elements I found flawed or it didn't absolutely blow me away, but I also click it when I adored everything about the story. In the past, I tended to either click the Kudos button or leave a comment, but not both; recently I've started clicking the Kudos button for ALL fic I enjoyed and also commenting when I have something to say (which is not always - I can seriously love a fic and still feel totally tongue-tied!).
One reason I've started clicking Kudos even when I leave comments is that I think people are starting to use the number of Kudos to determine whether a story is worth reading, it's like a mini-rec for me.
