Well since I'd want an ability that wouldn't have the NSA/CIA/pretty much every world government on my ass within days...Magnet Release would be pretty useful, I could "mine" all sorts of precious metals and cover it up with some creativity. Take it a step further and I could become one of those eccentric jewelers that make elaborate one-of-a-kind pieces for celebrities and shit. No-one would ever learn that I was using magic ninja powers to just churn them out, lol

Wood Release would be pushing it in my opinion, though in exchange for losing secrecy I'd pretend to be some sort of religious guru that heals the land wherever I walk. There are companies that would pay serious bucks to be able to cut down as much wood as they want because I'd just swoop in and grow it all back afterwards. Plus people everywhere would love me.

If I had to choose a doujutsu I'd go with Byakugan, for me X-ray 360 degree vision >>> being able to copy things in our world. With the Sharingan you need to have the physical coordination to be able to use the things you copy and I'm scrawny and weak as hell. The genjutsu, etc. bits are too risky if I want to keep a low profile, I don't think you can cast a genjutsu on cameras or other tech.

Honourable mention goes to Shadow Clones, they'd be hella useful. I'd just sleep and eat and play around all day while my clones do everything, lol.
