if you had to chose only one of the ancient wonders to build, which would it be and why?

Like everyone else said, getting representation that early is a big boost. But I just played a game where, for the first time, I use the "CS Slingshot" (build Oracle and research Code of Laws simultanously, have both completed in same turn, get Civil Service for your free tech). It made a HUGE difference--I leaped ahead of every other civ and stayed there the rest of the game. (Plus seeing "You have entered the Classical era!" and "You have entered the Medieval era!" within 30 seconds of one another is a hoot.)
Nice to get both if you can manage it, but at the higher levels, I'm usually lucky to get one.
