Personally, if there were no magic or essence loss, I'd go with synaptics. Those would r0sx0rz.

Brainware/VCR in no particular order, then senseware. Datajack would be high on my list, but VCR requires it, so I don't have to choose :)

Datajack, if going off the list and picking one.
"Lots of shit" if we're not. |

..five that are not on the list come to mind:
Enhanced Articulation - great cure for my arthritis Mnemonic Enhancement - Would be a real help for tracking jobs & tasks at work, & learning languages when travelling. Standard Headware Radio - Could listen to tunes & keep up on sports scores all day without the boss knowing it. Sleep Regulator - excellent for coping with those weekend marathon gaming sessions. Vision enhancement (Retinal Mods) - Low Light, standard vision mag would be a real bonus. |

I'd get something that'd allow me to control my metabolism, and drop down to an ideal weight. Also, get some bioware that'd control inflammatory response and get rid of my allergies. (edit: and a sleep regulator - that'd kick ass)
Then I'd get my joints fixed up (a couple of replacement ligaments for my left shoulder and right knee, and enhanced articulation), followed by a muscle toner of some sort to get rid of neck and back pain. Finally, get my eyes fixed to 20/20 vision. At that point, maybe I'd start thinking of getting something just for the fun of it... like an encephalon or some other kind of brain-boosting 'ware, followed by something to enhance agility, coordination, and reaction time. |

I said no essence loss, so I'd be a perfect Rifts character with magic and tech.

I voted for the Datajack, wired would be fun, but I think it'd get boring eventually.
Enhanced articulation would be a close second, along with sleep regulator. |

I'd consider getting cybereyes just because I'm near sighted.
That being said, psychologically I might not want to have my natural eyes ripped out. |

You put up none of the really interesting ones, ie. Cerebral Boosters, Mnemonic Enhancers, Sleep Regulators, Encephalons and Math SPUs, Transducers, and Skillwires. Of the choices in the poll, the Datajack is the only one I'd be interested in -- assuming everything went SR, it'd be of marginal utility in the real world.

Wired Reflexes and Synaptic Acc. would probably be my first piece of 'ware followed by a datajack, sleep regulator, toner and augmentation and enhanced articulation. Maybe a smartlink too. Hopefully the army would pay for it :)

Cybereyes with Displaylink, LowLight, IR, Zoom and the usual cosmetic modifications coupled with some Headware-memory, Math-SPU and a Datajack (not much fun in having Headwarememory + HUD without being able to supply them with data :D).
Last but not least a sleep regulator might come in handy ... |

If we went all SR tomorrow, I could save up to get a datajack or just use 'trodes.
Now, Tailored Pheromones, those are a different story... |

Bone enhancements for me. They would be good for contact sports like Jui jitsu. Really hard to breack your arm when its is as hard as steel.

Damn. There goes my plans for chrome-ing out. Datajack it is. If multiple... Oh, man. More Human Than Human. (Or should it be Less Human?) |

WHY get a datajack when trodes do the same thing?? You guys are in the pre-SR4 mindset.
I would get a sleep regulator if I had to choose one. Next I would get pheremones and cerebral boosters. The combat things such as muscle toners and wired wouldn't really help me considering I don't ever get into combat situations outside of martial arts class. |

Cybereyes. Getting rid of my glasses and get low light vision as a bonus :)
