A-Pewter F-Bronze would not stack super well, but would be the powers I would want the most. Honestly, I’d rather have two Feruchemical powers than one of each, but I think these are good. Bronze doesn’t really synchronize with anything, but being able to fall asleep on command and being able to stay away for extra long would be incredibly helpful. And Pewter’s just the jack-of-all trades metal, it really does everything. I’ve worked a fair share of manual labor jobs in the past, and Pewter would be so helpful on a lot of those long days where your body is killing you. I don’t know if it would help in the gym, but maybe it would. Maybe it would make the gym too easy, though, and you wouldn’t have the benefits of working out. 

Again, A-Pewter and F-Bronze don’t stack *super* well, but I wonder if you could cheat at filling your metal mind by burning pewter. Pewter keeps you awake, after all, and I bet you could fill a lot of your metal mind while burning pewter and still stay mobile. That might be incredibly helpful. I think allomancy and ferruchemy are fun to think about in settings that aren’t entirely combat oriented, and that the real drawing power that the setting of Mistborn has is the “thinking about all of this in a practical every day setting.” I don’t think Brandon has tapped that goldmine quite yet, but I would love to read a slice of life story about a bunch of metal born living and working on Scadrial.

I think everyone's ignoring compounding. Personally I'd double up on copper, you essentially have an infinite memory. Think about the endless permanent knowledge you could have. If compounding isn't allowed, probably A-pewter plus F-Gold, essentially immortality

I'm going to be incredibly generic and say that I'd like double Gold. 

 

I enjoy pondering alternate version of me, had I made different decisions.

And I get to pull a Deadpool if I ever get into an accident.

Also I imagine Double G pretty much guaranties you live to a ripe old age if you don't annoy the state.

Would I be, or would I like to be?

I'd be a Keeper (F-Copper) in both cases, but I'd probably have A-Zinc and want A-Steel (you can fly!!! Awesome!!!)

Steel. I like the combo. That's about it. Run fast and go even faster with steelpushing. Zoom. Just I gotta make sure to not hit a wall.

Double Electrum. Determination management is something I could benefit from.

I'm a glutton for knowledge so I'd have to go with F-Copper. This has the upside of letting me reread my favourite books from scratch again, multiple times.

Allomancy-wise, I think I'd probably go with bendalloy if I get the built in immunity to it being highly toxic or steel if not. I just want to be able to fling myself through the air at high speed. That would be fun.
