Probably 2 and 3. I’d like to be uber smart instead of the dumbass I am now.

4 and 5 for sure. 4 is essentially immortality to everything but instant kills. 5 means infinite money.
6 adds a third to your life if you consider people sleep 8 of the 24 hours in a day.
I would go with 3 and 4 probably.
If you age while you sleep though you loose like a third of your life. Like if it pauses you as well how would you ever wake up? You'd like grow a year older every 8 months.
2 & 4 with perfect memory you can learn anything.
Imagine how much you would be able to mess with people if you had telekinesis.
Omnilingual and perfect health. Boom. Next question.
Does "omnilingual" include knowledge over unattested languages, like Proto-Sino-Tibetan and Proto-Indo-European? If yes I'm picking it, and I'm revolutionising Historical Linguistics. (And getting rid of that bloody *e o ē ō vowel system.)
Plus #4.
So 8 is like a one time feeling of love? That sure beats telekinesis
1+3
I assume that being omnilingual means the perfect ability to verbally communicate.
With unlimited learning potential I can do whatever I want. Perfect health can follow easily because apparently getting fit and exercising properly is partly a skill, and frankly I don't want to feel entitled to my own health.
3 and 4. Making great works of art would be easy peasy, then proceeding to be a couch potato while eating junk food and not having to worry at all about clogged arteries, diabetes, etc? Never having to worry about diseases? Count me the fuck in.
So #8 tastes like pussy?
4 and 1. 4 because of obvious reasons, and 1 because it's would be the easiest to monetize efficiently.
I think its gonna be 1 and 4 for men
3 and 4 are thé likeliest to result in me essentially becoming immortal. Instantly talented at science I could easily turn that good health into lasting well beyond the normal lifespan of earth. Instantly skilled at making the right financial connections to finance it all.
6 and 7 for me thx
3 and 6 - Be able to master something I enjoy (for me - writing, woodworking, math) and then make living doing I something I love instead of my soul sucking job I have now… and 6 - more time to do the things I love. Without the flaws inherent in eternal life…
4 & 7
Omnilingual + perfect health, easily.
4 and 6. I could wear myself out and recover several times a day, no need to take it easy. More time for study, housework etc.
6 would be so funny Ever drank to much and wasted yourself to the point where you are unconscious? Your friends won't know You just stand up like nothing happened So 1 and 6 obvious call
4 is a no brainer and 7 would be cool.
1 and 7 for me. I work with 20+ languages and can't understand a single one of them outside of English. Even the languages I'm trying to get a basic understanding of each have different dialects.
Also 7 would be a great way to encourage me to exercise. I'd be lifting weights with my arms and my mind for practise!
