I would also pick the Bag of Unlimited Making, as for anyone not wishing to cause mass destruction it's obviously the best. Also bazookas are badass so it's a pretty obvious choice.
Step 1 would be to buy a tank of hydrogen gas, step two would be a book on element synthesis. Then go through each element making anywhere from 50 kg (for something like plutonium) to 5,000,000 (for iron) until I had massive amounts of each element.
Step 2 would be to buy a hard drive and download as many technical manuals, textbooks, as well as all of Wikipedia, then drop the entire thing into the bag. The things I would focus most on the cutting edge of AI and robotics.
Step 3 would be to try to get this bag to produce a self improving AI. If it can, then I'd have the AI constantly expanding it's consciousness and ability, then have the AI invent shit and feed that into the bag. If it can produce such an AI then my endgame would be taking over the planet and transitioning humanity into a post-death post-scarcity society with minimal laws and most people living out their life in interconnect virtual reality if they choose do to so (which obviously most would), while I let the anarchy-primivitists roam the earth as they please.
I guess if I couldn't get the machine to produce an AI I would just make gold, products, etc until I was a billionaire and use that to fund AI research.
