I think image stabilization is more useful than a wider aperture. Once the crop factor is applied to the aperture a f/1.4 becomes an effective f/2.2, a f/1.8 a f/2.9, f/2.8 a f/4.5 etc. so you lose a lot of the benefit of the wider aperture. IS will give you more hand held capability.

While I agree with your opinion regarding image stabilisation, you should think about your idea of aperture. The crop factor only influences the depth of field, not the amount of light. Since the light is the matter of this thread, an fast aperture of f/1.4 stays 1.4.
