Let's see, if you're going to include utils and things, in no particular 
order:

1. Liteswitch - Provides a Windows-like Command-Tab. IMHO this is one 
thing about the Windows UI that is quite nice.
2. Appleworks - Even version 5 still works fine on 68ks and all the way 
back to System 7.1. Great Word Processor/etc
3. Eudora Lite/Pro/etc - Great e-mailer, admittedly the more recent 
versions are getting a bit big but 2-4 and probably 5 are great.
4. iCab - Pretty well publicized on the lists, but a great, fast web 
browser. www.icab.de
5. Mozilla and variants - If your 'book is fast enough to handle it, 
Mozilla is a great, standards-based web browser. Should handle most 
sites that iCab doesn't. If you're on OS X, Mozilla Firebird is a good 
option too.
6. MacTelnet/MacSSH - Either would be your most used or least used, 
depending on whether you do much telnetting/sshing. I do myself, but you 
may not.
7. Mt. Everything - When that stupid CD ROM won't mount again
8. Disk First Aid from 8.5+ - If you're running 8.1 or lower, the DFA 
from 8.5+ works somewhat better and even still runs on 68k. The biggie 
being able to repair the startup disk and such.
9. StuffIt/Dropstuff 5.5+ - If a 68k pbook, Stuffit 5.5. If PPC, either 
still 5.5 or the latest one, depending on your needs and wants. 
Dropstuff is handy if you want to make archives.
10. ResEdit - This is more of a hobbyist thing, but you can do various 
fun things with it.

That's probably my top 10 :)
