All are useful, but if you live in summer climate you probably won't need the rubber floor mats. Cargo tray will protect the cargo bay carpet, which does
 
If it includes a compass, AutoDim mirror can help with direction orientation. It doesn't dim all that well, though, IMHO.

Splash guards are key - my van doesn't have them so the area behind the wheels get filthy.
 
Cargo tray is also nice. Keep that cargo area looking brand new.
 
Rear bumper cover is important. You can stand on it to load the roof rack. Paint will scratch.
 
Those are the ones we have.

I have the splash guards, rear bumper cover and cargo tray on my Limited. I also have the side moldings and auto dimming mirror. I feel that these are all important features. The rubber mats and the bug deflector can be added later as aftermarket items if you really need them. My car also came with cross bars, but I have not installed them since I don't carry anything on the roof and they can be the source of wind noise.

My dealer recommended nothing, but car included the following:
 
Cargo cover
Splash Guards
All weather mats
Bumper cover
 
I added:
 
Side moldings
Cargo Tray
Auto-Dim mirror
Dealer threw in aero cross bars
 
Dealer agreed that those were the only really useful accessories. I was skeptical on the auto-dim mirror, and almost canceled it, but now believe that it really is a must have.
