Large aperture - small depth of field, so you need to get the focus spot
on and it just won't work with deep subjects.
Fast ISO - more noise, so more post-processing required.
Slow shutter - motion blur if the camera or subject moves even slightly.
You have to choose the lesser evil based on your subject and the effect
you want to achieve - motion blur is commonly used as a creative effect
in night shots, if you're going for a twinkly-lights effect then extra
noise may not matter, if you're shooting an illuminated statue/building
etc. then small DOF may be good ...
