In general In general you want good coordination between your four cards to have a good starting hand.
AAKK double suited is the best you can start with.
A hand like TsTc2d2h is not worth playing, the cards are not coordinated and the basically you are looking to hit a boat, and even if you did it is likely not a strong one.
Because of the hugh number of starting hands in omaha there is no catagorization of specific hands like you have in holdem.
The standard system to determine a starting omaha hand strength is a point system which assigns a 'grade' to the hand, and you decide from which grade you want to start playing, depending on the number of players, table fabric etc...
an example of point count system is here
