Obviously, I'd choose the Invisibility Cloak. It all goes back to the three brothers -- do I want power, love, or to greet death peaceably?
The Elder Wand breeds greed and evil intentions, too dangerous for me to carry around. The Ressurection Stone proved useful to Harry, the one time. No matter how much I love my brother, I couldn't drag him out of heaven down here for a half life just because I can't deal. In the end, I'd choose the Invisibility Cloak -- it's the most practical and useful of the three and it served Harry very well in a variety of circumstances.
It's also interesting when you see Rowling connect the dots between the three brothers and Voldemort, Snape and Harry.
Voldemort wanted the Elder Wand and died because of his hunger for power. Snape died for love (in a way) and Harry chose to go to his death, embracing it.
I'd rather be like Harry so I'd take the gift he was given.
What about you?
