Normally you might think of Raster GIS for working with elevation data.

But can Raster GIS be used to compare a number of criterias to find the "good spot"?

Yes, Raster GIS is actually pretty good at locating places where several conditions are met.

Here is an example where I try to locate positions that are close to roads, are near a reasonable amout of addresses and also is close to other shops or stores.

I really like this example. This makes use of the grid creation capabilities and the grid calculator. You can find articles on these in the "Get on the Grid" topic. Here is the link: https://li360.pitneybowes.com/s/topic/0TO80000000LOQqGAO/get-on-the-grid
