I would say Speed first. It gives you enough that you can navigate (assuming that you have a compass (and a watch)).
I would drop Stereo from this list (we never have it on; I like the sound of sailing – I hope this does not open a can of worms) I would put a GPS ahead of the autopilot, probably, mainly, because of the costs associated.
