If you look at its history, Anakin had that lightsaber for years, he was the hero of the republic saved many lives, saved his friends, on more then one occasion pushed back the Sith.
The only evil act I can think of was the execution of the younglings, and yes that was completely balls to the walls evil. for the most part if we were talking about Vaders actual light sabers and not Anakins then I could see where Rey would be feeling overwhelming evil and dark side vibes from it.

I would agrree to an extent, I've always thought that Luke's Force prowness was a bit exagerated compared to a guy like Anakin or Yoda or even Mace. He didn't seem to have that Force emathy or ability to see clearly into the future like the pre clone wars Jedi or Sith.
I would argue that Luke didn't take down that AT-AT thanks to his force powers. Just like his skills against the Wampa were pretty feeble. Even Vader basically toyed with him in their first duel as he was more interested in converting him then killing him.
Even in the Return of the Jedi, Luke was relatively untrained. He didn't realize his true potential until he gave into his anger against Vader and then when he denied himself this power, Sidious pretty well was going to end him without breaking a sweat.
Anyways power aside, it was pretty much a Grey object, there had been great evil and great good acomplished with Anakins original ligh saber.

I have this theory that it wasn't as much the light saber as it was circumstance that bought the force to life and let Rey sense those memories and echos.
I always found it kind of weird that an object that she had never seen before could trigger a vision like that.
