A decent workbench with power and storage I number one in my book.
Lighting for it number two.  Third is a good soldering iron.  Around
number 7 is a 'scope after a decent pair of VOM and DVM and simple 
logic probe.  Number 6 is a quality set of handtools (cutters, needlenose,
screwdrivers and the like).  If I were to think on it I'd certainly put 
other tools and equipment before a scope.

Obvious reason. Rework in the form of circuit corrections are easily 
done with wirewrap and can be costly and time consuming with PCB.
