Hard choice. I guess it just depends what kind of trails I usually run. Rocky? Sliders. Mud? Winch or locker. If I had to choose between those two, I would probably pick locker first as you'll use it more than a winch.
ETA: Went with locker. It's the one that would see the most use, even on roads when it snows. And hey, now you can do donuts.

I have actually had to use my locker on the rocks more than anything. I put my locker on before any of the other as it does see the most use. Not to mention it didn't cost me very much and I had to buy it before someone else scooped it up.

Winch.
It's pulled me out of situations my lockers have only gotten me into!:elkgrin:

Do you have a point to jack from on either end? How long is the middle of your vehicle? Sliders do offer protection, but they also over a nice stout jack point for a hi-lift to grab onto. Since my one of rigs came with a locker and the other a winch, I would go with sliders. I just find them useful. They are also great for shorter people stepping into the vehicle and to get stuff down off the roof (or help you with that garden up there).

Sliders (out of the list above)
For me the order is usually:
- Preparing to explore (preventative maintenance and enough cash to fuel the truck)
- If going to Baja, insert fridge here (old joke)
- Maximizing your contact while reducing environmental impact (the RIGHT tires for where you want to explore)
- Being safe (first aid, basic recovery and knowing how to use it)
- Living in & around your truck (cargo management, camping equipment, etc)
- Advanced protection (sliders for jacking, bumpers)
- Advanced recovery and traction (winch or lockers depending on terrain)
