I'd say touch is the most important. Look at Helen Keller: deaf and blind, and she managed to do alright.
Yes, sight is important too, but if you couldn't feel anything, you wouldn't be able to feel pain. Even though it sounds nice to not ever experience pain, it is actually very important in keeping ourselves out of trouble. Pain tells you not to touch a hot stove. Pain tells you not to cut yourself with a knife. Pain tells you not to walk on a broken leg. Pain tells you not to whiz on the electric fence.
Personally, I might be able to live without ever seeing, hearing, smelling, or tasting (yum) my fiance again. I don't know if I'd be able to handle not ever feeling him hold my hand, or kiss me on the cheek, or give me all that good lovin'.
