Consider what the ability does, what cards have the ability and how it is used.
I'll give you a hint as to which I choose:

Hexproof.
{Invisible stalker} etc + auras :)
I'm a big fan of first strike, myself. On the offense, it gives you a massive aggressive edge, and on defense it makes your opponent rethink every possible swing. I love holding off 7/2 tramplers with a pair of 1/1 first-strikers.
Come at me, bro.
Double strike cus it changes combat math so much.

Nobody likes Banding...
But in all seriousness First Strike. It is underated, and I take it over double strike because of this.
When they make a Double strike card, it is too powerful to put at 1 CMC. First Strike is on the other side of that spectrum saying a 1 CMC first Stike. Powerful, but not too power ful. Right??? WRONG! I love it because of... A screwed over {Lightning Ball} that's why!
Deathtouch.
Careful, he's running {B} so he could have reanimates, or does he? Either way, dammit my creature's dyin .... Imma pass, your turn.
Double Strike takes the cake.IMO.

How would they get a 7/2 trample. I there a standard 7/2 trample creature that I somehow don't know about?
Why does my example have to be standard? :o
I was thinking of {Thunderblust}, but my {Ash Zealot} will block that {Spark Trooper} all day ;)
Protection from XXX, if that's permitted.
If not, Double Strike and Hexproof are both awesome. Death touch is in there, because of all the great cards with it {Master of Cruelties} and {Glissa the Traitor} mainly.
Flying. It is the most flavorful mechanic in my eyes. Also the least OP. All of the combat effectors and other types of evasion can become broken very fast. Each format has to scew itself to counteract the OP tendancies such as hexproof and auras requiring excessive sacriice effects.
