Aside from the 90% off sale, there's never been a cube sale that was worth ranking up items with. Wait for Miracle Time to do epic->unique(->legendary).
Pot lock is great for when you're cubing for stats though. Of the sale items, I'd go for SMCs if the item is legendary, regular cubes + pot locks for unique & lower.
You'll spend less to get 15% at unique with pot locks than to get it at legendary, pretty much guaranteed - when you get a main stat line, lock it and wait for a second (that is, either 9% unique or 6% secondary lines, lock it). 12%, I suspect is marginally easier to get on a legendary item, since it's a single line instead of 9%+3% or 6%+6%. But it's by no means difficult to get; if your item already has a primary stat line, 1 pack of pot locks is likely to give you a second usable line.
