What sensory enhancement would you pick? (sopuli.xyz)

Would you prefer supervision, supersmell, superfeel, superhearing, or supertaste? And what about the other senses of the body that are not part of the quintet? Think balance, temperature, and even the ability to feel where all your body parts are (you can close your eyes, wave your hands around, and touch your knee)

For me, I would pick supervision. It would be really cool to see better in the dark, have built-in camera zoom, and see in higher detail.

I have stronger than average taste and smell. Do not recommend. Various things taste pretty awful, I'm more sensitive to smells and even things I like can become overwhelming.

I used to be able to see better in the dark than anyone I know, but that has faded with age. I've also always been somewhat colorblind so fixing that might be nice. I would also fix my hearing being kinda wonky (as in basically useless whenever multiple things are producing sound at once).

I'm tempted to want some kind of better balance or electromagnetic perception (though that one could be awful for the same reason I wouldn't want to see much beyond what I do on the visible light spectrum since UV radiation and infrared could be a wall of noise).
