Abilities or Magic Items?

The threads about magic items inspired me. :)

Lately, I find that I'm bored with magic items. When it comes to division of treasure, I let the other players take what they want unless something just seems extra special to me, something just "tailor-made" for my character. One of our DMs has taken to creating a sort of legendary item, sort of like the leveled items from Dragon or the scion classes from the Game Mechanics, for each character. I actually like this a lot and though no one has used them in our group yet, I like the idea of the scion prestige classes that the Game Mechanics came up with, too (it's also a very cool use of the prestige class concept, I think). I think I'd rather have cool abilities granted by a class, feat, etc., than magic items for my character.

So, what do you guys think? Would you rather have cool character abilities or cool character stuff?

Abilities definitely but stuff is easier to get. Only the wizard can get open ended class power additions, and even then it is physical stuff in a spellbook.
