This was my thoughts for my G23.
Got:
450 motor. Nothing less should be in these boats.
Got heater and heated seats. Wife pulls me frequently and she dislikes cold. Happy wife, happy life.
Got the pocket door. Ate me alive to pay a grand but the functionality is great. Another easy way to keep it warmer in boat. You can see a theme here.
Reversible seat is a must. So functional.
Got the bow armrests. Not sure about them, but why not?
Ladder for platform. My parents have had a hard time getting back on the 230s platform.
Engine fire extinguisher. Safety first and relatively cheap.
Bow filler cushion makes the bow a nice play area for kiddos.
What I didn't get:
Factory cover. Wanted a cover that has platform cover built in. My boat gets a lot of sun on its rear while on my lift.
Rear filler cushions. They are awkward, take up lots of storage and never used on 230.
Tower speakers and tower prep kit. Went with wet sounds rev10s, ws420EQ and amp instead. Better and cheaper.
Underwater lights. Don't use at night much and can do this later aftermarket if desired.
Battery charger. Cheaper to just buy own.
Design package. Don't like the white and ridiculous cost.

Thanks for the feedback. I put deposit down today but will have several weeks before production gets close to change things. I'm already reconsidering a few things based on feedback here. One thing that has really caused me some angina is the bimini. Really don't like the look of the std bimini and like the idea of the rack on the z5 but I'm 6'4" so the z5 is really a pain being as low as it is. Dealer is going to look at ways to modify to raise a few inches (may be able to get it up 2-3" at most) but that may be enough to make it a tad more functional for me. If not, I'll revert to the std one. Would need to mount tower speakers below the bimini or above the tower bar if we do this but I figure there's got to be an easy way to figure that out. Also still working on colors but I've got time for that as well.
