Which kind? Logos, Ethos, or Pathos (the three musketeers of argumentation).
I believe that it was the Sophists who claimed that the argument was more important then the point; a good orator can get a bad idea to sound good.

"One that does not involve a logical fallacy." agreed.
And starts from common or agreed ground, since an internally consistent argument is likely to carry no weight with someone who doesn't share its starting point.
Otherwise, a good argument starts by clearing up just what is or is not mutually agreed.
