If someone was say 300lbs and shape changed into a supermodel )thin and fit looking), they could still be 300lbs. That could be an advantage in some situations.
Teleportation. Easy, fairly simple, and gives me a lot of versatility.

Hands down, being in multiple places at once
I could go to school and get multiple degrees, learn a dozen different martial arts, become a professional chef, have secveral part time jobs
Etc
If I could make, say five of me.
One of them would get a full time job
Two would work together going to school
One would get a part time job and learn martial arts
One would goof off on the internet and go to the gym unless there was some event or opportunity that the others weren't going to.
The only problem with immortality is that you would have to be 'joe normal'. You would be forced to stay meek and and out of the way lest you get into fights and get put in jail. (the last thing an immortal wants is to be be put in jail)
The you have to move around a lot or people will start to wonder.
Never the less, I like the idea. :)
Going to have to cast my vote with super density/super strength and toughness. Never having to worry about my personal safety would be a huge boon.

The power to understand the female mind. Maybe that's beyond a mid level power but I would use it only for good. Good = not sleeping on the couch.
Its so hard to choose: flight, invisibility, telepathy, nearly complete regeneration like Wolverine (used to be), invulnerability.
Actually, if I could get the invulnerability, I would pass on regeneration.

Getting immortality without being sure to also specify eternal youth suuuuuuuuuucks.
If Lucy is any indicator, I'd like to use 50% of my brain. I figure 50% is mid-level.
Telekinesis is also a fun one, if you have fine control over it. I made a character in a short-lived RP with very powerful, but very short range (a few feet further than arm's length) telekinesis, and it was fun finding non-combat uses for it (his other "power" being really good multitasking skill, so he could do 15 things at once if he wanted. He was a spaceship pilot.).
I'd be perfectly content with that combination of abilities.
Shapeshifting.
Hands down my first choice of superpower.
That movie is idiotic. You always use 100% if your brain.Considering that you accidentally substituted "if" for "of," I'd say you only employed 98% on that occasion.
Yes, yes... all of the brain is allocated to some function. It's just that neurons don't all fire at once, such that at no one time are you using 100%, though 100% of the brain gets used. For me Lucy was just a fun short story.
I apologize, Hama, for trying to be a certain kind of silly.
A few of the X-men tend to grow/develop a single ability until they can do more with it, like exercising a muscle makes it stronger or more limber. If that's the case, then I might go with telekinesis, because if you can eventually exercise small and large scale control, you can do so much more.
(This is working under the possibly misplaced assumption that the ability also allows you to perceive what you're working with, the same way that you feel what you touch, but without that, it would severely limit what you can accomplish... still, chucking cars and stopping bullets would be Akira style fun.)
If not, Watchmen's Ozymandias' level of inteligence would be neat too...
As long as it didn't come with his sense of self-righteous justification.
One of: teleportation, healing touch, supreme physical durability (possibly by ultra-fast regeneration), super-intelligence...
Oh, wait... Is casting magic a midlevel super-power? :D
the ability to transfer skills and impairments from one mind to another, sort of of like hyper-surgical telepathy transplants.
Depends on the magic.
Immortality (including no penalties for age) would be the one for me. It would buy me time to figure out how to solve all the other problems, even taking into account periods of unfavorable conditions that might prevent superintelligence from doing so for a time that is finite but exceeds a normal lifetime.
The ability to throw nuclear explosions at will.
Shapeshifting/Polimorphing on the level of the Martian Manhunter.
Turn into other people, stretching, sizechanging, making functional wings, change muscle mass for superstrenght and agility, regenerate. Hell, learn some biology and spin spider silk, shoot eletric blasts like an eel and get all kinds of enhanced senses.
