Okay, for whatever reason everyone in the world has been granted the same super power, and you have been selected to pick it, Go.

Me, i'd choose flight, would just be damn right handy in the real world, yeah criminals would have a easier job but we would have flying cops to catch them.

The ability to make rational decisions that have as little negative effect on others as possible.

I can see one little problem with that: A big reason why there's violence and terrorism and whatnot in this world is because, as bone-headed as these people might seem to us, to them, they're the ones being rational. Or if not rational, they at least believe it falls under the category of "greater good" or maybe even "It's beyond me" in the case of people following orders.
Bottom line: Rationality is just as subjective as anything else we humans try to use to justify our actions.

OT: I think everyone in the world should get super-regeneration/super-healing. Not like Wolverine regen powers, where a single living organic cell will eventually recreate the whole Wolverine (in some of the continuities, at least) but, I don't know, get a bullet wound, your body eventually pushes the bullet out and you heal up good as new. Running for an hour straight will be no problem, as the usual problems with soreness and lung issues and all that will be a thing of the past. In fact, with super-healing, I imagine people will become stronger, since their whole body can work at peak efficiency all the time.
No more disease. That's a deal-maker if I've ever heard one.

The most broken power in all existence; the ability to make my imagination reality. Or, in other words, shaping reality to my will. Sorta like a green lantern ring, but way more powerful and not requiring a ring.

I'd say the world would still exist for a total of about 5 minutes after everyone gained that power, 5 minutes of seeing EVERY celebrity naked, then world destroying.

An incredibly solid argument. Which is why I also said these decisions were to have as little negative effect on others as possible :)

Montage power. With the ability of montage, I would be able to conquer any task, create any situation, and take down any opponent (or even gain additional powers) with a simple montage, fueled by the powers of the 80s and awesome music.

Hippy :p

OT: The ability have a demon form of one's self created in link to their emotions and choices. That'd be fun.

Northern Lights fanboy :p nothing wrong with that, apart from the ending to the books being incredibly disappointing.

Healing each other's wounds or your own.

Its a win-win situation, everybody is happier, lives longer and there are less casualties.

Empathy. Or failing that, lasers for eyes.
That laser eye thing would suck. I agree with the empathy though.

The ability to transform into some redundant item, like a beach ball, or a bucket of some wierd glowing blue goo.

That way the world basically stays the same and assholes can't do anything awful with their powers.

Or the ability to connect with dreamspace game servers while asleep, which would be awesome.
