The question is better answered if we know what type of use you are doing
with your sailboat: daysailing, week end, long distance, the length of time
and the frequency of use.
Ideally you should have both the AP and the jib roller Furler
As for me the orders of priority a
1) husky boat fenders, for when you want to dock in against concrete Warf's
and locks.
2) AP when you are just you and your wife, more time to spent on vigil,
charting and cooking. Unless you are going upwind once your sails are up
and trimmed your boat is on course. When the weather get rough you balance
your boat with the proper sail and trim.
When you have to lower your sails, untangled and free your furler the AP is
your third hand.
3) Radar and GPS and back up, depending on your area, in land or on a lake
these are not a priority.
4) Dodger and Bimini, when you spent lots of time on the water it is wise to
protect your skin against sun damages
5) Roller furlers for the jib and main, when you no longer can get in front
to change sails drop the main and bag them, it is safer to have a good
furling system. Conversely if your furler get tangled or jammed and you
are alone your AP will serve you well.

Now days newer sailboats are all coming equipped with furlers and many have
AP, dodger and bimini.
