well, if someone ever spills coke all over your laptop keyboard and
you lose the ability to type the 'a' and 's' keys, CAPS makes a
great stand in.  left shift works nice for 's' too :)

otherwise CAPS<==>CTRL i think is the most useful one, and with the
proliferation of programs like xmodmap and setxkbmap, you can
quite easily make this the default on all the systems on which you
have an account.  you can even take it a step further and do what
a friend of mine does, actually taking the two keys out of the keyboard
and swapping them, making physical modifications to the keys if necessary
to make 'em fit.
