I'm not really a Ninja fan, yet I own a ton of Ninja sets, go figure...
Actually, I probably will make some Ninja MOCs, I'm just not a real
student of Japanese culture, so my MOCs will be more based on what looks
cool to me.
I must complement the theme however on capturing the feel of Japanese
architechture. The almost exclusive use of existing parts to replicate
architechtural features is just impressive. I love the stone lamps, the
use of the control console dothingy, and the use of the 1x2 plate with
ladders.

I think I'd say 6093 also, but 3053 is also a top choice.

I'd put the rock wall ahead...

I totally disagree that the rock walls are difficult to use in other
themes. I've seen some awesome uses, and they are the reason I own
something like 7 or 8 6093s (and have bought additional walls on top of
that). They are great for break water walls, and I'm sure I'll find
other uses.

I think I'd have to say the Ninja princess.

Absolutely.
