wRC+ is king for me, basically park-adjusted wOBA. It's ironic that OPS is a better marker of success than OBP...which is true....given how broken and useless the execution of OPS is (let's just throw two random stats together that don't present results the same way....brilliant). WOBA/WRC+ all the way, it's weighted correctly, and one is very useful for players who play in extreme parks.
OBP is a great stat that solely focuses on the single most important facet of hitting....not making an out. But power matters greatly, and OBP does nothing for you there. A team full of elite OBP guys isn't necessarily as good as a team of above avg OBP guys who hit HR's.
