Reward-wise: I'm all about that hood and the armor. Though the other reward is actually pretty OP in my opinion. At least it made me feel invincible with the one character who took it. Or maybe it was a combination of a variety of perks.
But, I usually choose to spread the wealth into the wasteland. There are actually green trees at the base of the butte, on the north side, and one on the south. Good or evil, how can you not spread the influence, something that benefits all, long term?
