The faster HD will give the greatest performance boost, but I'd couple it with more standard RAM soldered onto the mobo and a single open RAM slot. After those options I'd choose the better video chipset, for better performance and obsolescence insurance, although it would never make the Mini into a gaming console.
The base Mini doesn't need a Superdrive, since some people don't want them and shouldn't have to pay for them.
I'd also want to see an access door for adding more RAM. Popping in a stick of RAM shouldn't be a stressful experience for Mini owners.
The Mini's got great potential, but as it is now I'd never buy it - it's pure landfill fodder. Plus I like my Powermac G4 too much - it's nice to add extra HDs without having desktop clutter and a rat's nest of Firewire cables.
