Deal with the Bandits Quest Rewards

http://en.pathofexilewiki.com/wiki/Deal_with_the_Bandits

Is there a recommended reward people usually go with? I'm a little torn for the following reasons:

Health: I hear getting the health bonus gives you a larger base health pool from which the percent life passives scale really well

Mana: I'm pretty mana-deprived because I run around with lots of auras for my friends

Resists: I think 8% to all except chaos would be pretty nice

Anyone have an opinion on what's preferable? I'm playing a tank/support templar. Thanks.

Don't know if you're aware, but if you kill all 3 bandits you get a passive skill point.
That is usually the option I take.

Besides, it's more killing. :)

I was considering the passive point, but I think I'd benefit more from one of the bandit's rewards since they seem to be better than what I'd get in my passive skill tree (defensively speaking).

archlazurus:

the health used to be +45 health, but I still took it since it stacks with +health % passives

2nd reward was very close. . . +4% attack speed upped my DPS by 100 while +12% ED upped it by 116

Last reward will either be a frenzy or an endurance charge

Does any1 know if i choose +12% incr. Physical Damage if this also refers to damage from Lightning Strike?

I need to know since I am unsure whether to choose incr. Attack SPeed or Physical Dmg. My Main Skill is as u can guess Lightning Strike.

Since Lightning Strike damage is proportional to your physical damage, the %12 increased Phys. Dmg. would also affect your LS.

People usually go with whichever reward suits their build best.

I always go with the resist, because I can never beat the bandit who gives that bonus in order to get the passive point (and I play HC).

Dude always crushes me, even when I'm 6 levels above him.

Different build work differently.

I can easily kill Kraityn.

It's Oak that gets me.
