JBoots >> Gobbie Ring, IMO (and both about same price)
+55hp rings are invaluable for any character.
JBoots + 55hp rings saves lives.
Gobbie ring is a "nice to have", but most groups/duos you don't need
to break charm.

Depends on grouping versus solo. Grouping, Gobo ring is basically worthless.
Soloing, however, Gobo ring basically gives you a much needed 9th spell gem, which is crazy when you think about it.
Edit to Add:
The time Gobo Ring saves you can't be understated. Timing charm breaks with Gobo ring allows you to break charm at <=10% Very consistently, allowing you to kill off mobs with 1 Choke versus 2 or 3. Using Taper enchantment/casting Invis makes timing much more sensitive; I know I've lost plenty of pets trying to get mobs as low as possible.
JBoots are nice, but not nearly as nice as Gobo ring for soloing, which is really the question.
If you're grouping you're probably 1) In a dungeon so no SoW/jboots anyways, or 2) Someone in your group can cast SoW. The only time jboots really matter while leveling is while Soloing, where I'd say Gobo Ring will make a bigger bang for your buck. You can get by with strafing or trading a Breeze/Clarity for a SoW, or, If you're a cheapskate, just buy SoW potions.
About SoW potions vs jboots...jboots are (conservatively) 7k, which could buy 70 10 Doze SoW potions. That's 700 SoWs at 35mins each-- that's 24500 minutes or 408 Hours (17 Days!) worth of SoW, that you can cut up into 100pp incriminates. My advice is to make sure you're going to stick with your twink before you buy jboots; If you don't plan on getting over 17 days /play'd, just buy SoW potions IMO.
If you don't plan on soloing at All, just skip gobo ring and jboots altogether.
