Favorite Meaningful Stats

What are you favorite handful of meaningful stats that you use to evaluate players?
Hmm....For a quick glance by of a player, I usually prefer advanced numbers, and go with:
Win Shares (moreso Defensive, as they are only a box score stat, but the best defensive one I know of, and to a lesser extent offensive WS)
WS/48 (again, takes defense into account, and although offensive WS aren't perfect, averaging them with defensive WS and giving an idea of per 48 production)
TS percentage
Usage
O and D Rtg
