In general, I've been treating "prosperity" as the best possible reward. It's something that carries over between characters and is hard to get.Reputation varies. Early on I would have taken reputation over gold/xp/checks, but that really depends - if someone's maxed out at 20 then it's not a reward at all, and if someone's going for a bad-rep party then gaining reputation is actually a penalty and not a reward. So I'd say rep is more something to give by theme and not count as part of the reward.
I think gaining curses would be *really* bad and I would feel quite mixed if I got them along with a middling reward like gold.
"Checks in the great oak line and free blessings" seems weird as a reward. Not sure why.
