One of the things that I look for in my favorite Bruckner performances is the elements of Schubert. There is drama, formal structure, and mysticism, but also a tunefulness. No, he never wrote a Pastorale, but there are elements of it especially in the Eighth (and also the earlier ssymphonies, although its been awhile since I listened to 1 and 2.
I don't really have a current favorite fourth, but I do have the Walter - maybe I'll give it a spin today. I also have the Haitink fourth - I do think Haitink is a bit underrated in Bruckner.
