[Crawl] Ghoul seeks spiritual guidance

I managed to get a Ghoul to the ET, so I guess I am slowly improving.
Anyway, I'm asking opinions on which god he should turn to. (Haven't
found anything interesting yet, unless you count a crossbow, which is
nice to get early.)

Well, let's see.

The good gods are out.
Trog without beserking is kind of pointless.
Kikky is kind of pointless if aiming for Necromutation is pointless,
which it is.

So that leaves SM, Vehumet, Makhleb, Y, Xom, Nemelex, Oki... and I
guess that's it.

Nemelex is too useless in the early game and too useful in the endgame.
SM is a bit weak for an experienced player.

So that leaves Vehumet, Makhleb, Y, X, and O. If you're planning to
spellcast or use lots of rods (well, just mentioning it ;-)), then V. O
is always nice and safe for all purposes. Y requires lots of waiting
for slaves, which not everybody's into. X is tons of fun. ;-) M is also
tons of fun and is pretty useful.

Probably M or the old standard O?
