Obviously this really derpends on the class, campaign, and stly of game you are running. My Bard Lasher in the campaign that just eneded has a Acidic Burst Whip Dagger for instance. The image of flicking bits of acid with the whip was too cool to pass up. In a campaign about to start my Dwarven Fighter will really want a Dwarfen Battle Axe Defender. And in the game that is currently going my half elf Ranger will really want a Composite Long bow of Distance with returning arrows.

Depends on the level. If you have the scabbard of keen edge it is likely that you are atleast 5th level so I will base my assumptions on that.
GIven a choice, I would go with:
Weapon: For a +1 bonus I'd go with o one of the energy bonuses (fore, frost, shocking, etc.) that give the extra d6. Holy is a good choice too but that is +2. Speed is the best high level choice at +4 but it is reproducable (spell, boots, etc.)
Armor: I like the resist element option here. Others probably have better ideas!

I like Fortification armor on grunts. As you get up in levels you start meeting things that can do 30 or 40 a hit. One unlucky roll that turns into a monster crit is more likely to kill you than those 15 pts of Fireball damage.
Energy resistance on shields is nice; you can swap shields around a bit if you know what to expect. Blinding is useful on a shield; it opens up some sneak attack targets for your teammates.
I like front line grunts to have maximum pluses to get that regular to hit and damage and cut through DR, don't count on GMW to save your arse. I have a soft spot for Holy because it is so stylish. Keen if you have a good strength. d6 energy is an afterthought. Burst only if you have Improved Critical and Keen already.
I like fancy pants energy on bows for archers. They can play with multiple bows and rachet up their attacks with better arrows if need be. With Rapid Shot and a full attack they can even cut through a weak elemental resistance.
