I think you nailed it- design wise.

There's the "Moe" Voicebanks, ones that are almost always trying to get to the Otaku audience, with their completely voice acted vocals. Bonus points if the mascot is shorter than 5' 6" and wears a mini skirt

Then, there's the Japanese Soprano, these voicebanks are high-mid range vocals that when you put them all together, you can barely tell who is who by tone. Bonus points if the mascot has ever been accused of "stealing" Miku's design

Thirdly, there's the mid-range female. That's all to say, really, female, mature, midrange. Bonus points if the mascot has big boobaloos

Lastly, there is the gimmicky male. These are Vocaloids that have multiple voicebanks at a extremely low price at their initial release. The dev teams just throw in multiple voicebanks because they're afraid that the Vocaloid itself won't sell well, strictly because it's a Male vocal. Bonus points if it's voice provider is a pre-established musician/idol.
