I've been considering this one for a while, and I realised that all of them will make you want the other ones. I can just see myself sitting on that toilet and thinking "well fuck, I wish I'd taken the ring".
I see far too many flaws in the pill to take that. Not all deaths being predictable, have to take it when you're going to die, all memories upon birth could be horrendously disturbing... You get the idea.
Actually all things considered, I think I'd take the bath robe. Most inconspicuous, most stylish without being taken away from me for being a weapon, and also freaking awesome. Manipulating water gives you control over all life too, you know. You can do both beautiful and destructive things with that power. And, you know, it's going to be a lot easier to keep hold of the bath robe than it is to keep hold of the suit or mech.
Could argue a lot of the same things for the ring, but other people have brought up good arguments for not taking it too. Invisibility is corrupting, ring wraiths, plus rings are pretty easy to lose. And I sort of know what I'm getting with the bath robe: far as I know the ring doesn't have fully documented power.
