Yeah, super healing, even if it only halved aging would still be the best by far (your body would still in theory age on days you don't heal, and then not age at all on days you do....but unless it reversed all aging, it wouldn't reverse the aging you did on an off day.)

Even so, that would not only mean you would live twice as long as you would of from the day you got the power, but you would be young and healthy for most of it. If you got the power at age 30, you could live another 120 years, and still be young and in shape for at least 50-60 of them (as you would be as healthy as possible for a 60 year old after 60 more years).

If you ditch the healing one all together, invisibility doesn't have a strong enough downside. Money is, in most cases, the most powerful superpower as it just basically makes your life super easy and you can do whatever you want. While personally I find that sad, it's the truth.

While you might be able to get rich with the shape shifting power, and in theory you could fly that way, swim under water, and tons of other cool things. There restrictions prevent you from many of the most fun uses!! It would certainly be more work to get rich with shapeshifting powers.

With invisibility you could get quite rich even without doing anything illegal (although cheating is ethically wrong). You would not have to be invisible long to become mega-wealthy, and then never use the ability again.

That aside, of the options, I'm gonna go with shape shifting (if Healing is taken off the table). Why? Because it offers the most cool uses, without any negative penalties. There is some danger involved (if your flying and suddenly feel pain for instance) you could fall and die (if the pain didn't go away in time). If you turn into something that can survive underwater and extreme pressure, and then get hurt...boom dead etc.

Even so, you could still experience flight over water etc, so if you did fall, you wouldn't die. Also, in theory, shapeshifting would allow you to heal in a way, since you would revert into your normal form. So shapeshift just slightly all of the time, and any damage you take, will go away when you get hurt (are in pain) and boom, you are healed.

Shapeshifting might even prevent you from aging as well, as long as you are in a shifted form most of the time, and no time limit was mentioned, other then not being hungry/thirsty, in pain or aroused. You could easily prevent all of that (especially in a shapes shifted form that is hard to damage, and doesn't have sexual organs). With the ability to shift into any form, you can control how often you get hungry/thirsty, aroused, and heck in theory you could even remove most nerve endings so it's very hard for you to be in pain even......removing almost all of the negatives.
