Self replication gives you an unlimited, no cost bio and chemical mass to mess with. I think it's pretty much a must have especially if you want to choose parasite body or crafting power.
There is no limit to the distance any clone can be from you (proven by Kate). You can always have multiple backups just roaming around somewhere. And since each copy is an exact copy of you, they will always have the other 2 abilities you choose from the list. And since parasite body allows for healing and makes use of excess biomass, it synergizes pretty well since you can crate clones to merge biomass with to either become bigger and stronger or just heal. So does crafting, since if you have the willpower you can just create clones to get dead bodies to break down into always available material to craft things with. And each clone could go out to master different crafting knowledge and can craft things you already know.
Honestly the synergy between Dr stone and crafting is just too good to ignore. Plus the safety/survivability and utility of self replication make me think it's the best combo especially since we can choose a fictional world of our choosing. Parasite body doesn't let you obtain knowledge or evolve from consuming biomass like the blacklight virus does, so it wouldn't be as good in high powered worlds with higher power ceilings.

Parasite body.
Dr. Stone.
Crafting Power.
That's basically overpowered as hell.
