Default Help me choose my next mod!

So I've got some money from selling some take off stuff, so its time for some new stuff! Can't decide what to do next. Heres the candidates:
Evo protek skid system
Viair 2on2 OBA system
Some sort of headliner (hothead or boom mat)
Rear bumper/tire carrier ( maybe just tire carrier)
Rock rails
Front lower control arms( I have Ome HD springs and LT shocks)

So as you can see some stuff is more than others, so I can get one expensive item or a couple less expensive ones. I wanna know what you'd get and why!

Rock rails. If you do any moderate to difficult wheeling, you will be happy you have them.

Yoda would say:
Deside you must on your own, how best to serve you Jeep.

I would pick Rock Rails but that is just me. How much money you have? is this get one save some money or get a couple things type thing?

If you can afford it I would go with evo skid and rock rails for the protection.

I've got about $650, so it's a buy one big thing like the evo skid or viair kit, or a couple cheaper items. I know I should be the ultimate decision maker, but I can see the usefulness of all this stuff so it's a tough decision.

I think the Viair with the dual compressors and tank will run air tools better. I have debated those two setups for a while. Ive seen the ARB in action and its pretty cool, but I think I would need to add a tank.
