IMO the only factor in temple building is the resources to build it.
A rich devotee could build a temple of divine grace and beauty but if
no one went there to worship; its power, for rituals and heroquests
and the like, would be minimal.
Conversely a holy site could be a regular place of worship with many
people going there all the time. It might not look good,
architecturally speaking, but it is powerful. I think the the Hill of
Orlanth Victorious may fall into this category.
Also am I right in thinking that to gain divine feats, etc requires
crossing to the god world to earn them. If so those holy places with
many worshippers willing you on to success will give you a better
chance - although if they don't know you they may not care.
It's a tricky old world out there.
