since i usually have a bard (7 out of 9 parties that went to the peak have had them), i leave the amulets of healing in favour of ankhs or other items which raise stats.
for example, in a melee-heavy party, damage is the only way to chop up the enemy, so ankhs of strength are the norm. alternately, for a criticals-heavy party, getting in first and furious is called for, so ankhs of speed are the norm.
of course, if i stumble across a ring of stars or cameo locket, i'll find a way to work them in!
