I think my two choice powers would be selective power bestowal and either low level telepathy or low level telekinesis. Low level because that would limit how powerful I could become and thus how much damage/harm I could cause. Furthermore I'd ask the omnipotent being in question to make impossible for me to increase the breadth, degree, or scale of my mental power (whichever I decide to ask for). Power bestowal for me always carried a certain appeal because firstly I've never liked working openly towards anything, rather I prefer to slowly work my way towards something out of the spotlight. Plus if you are giving others abilities it means you either are transferring those abilities to them (which presumably means you had said abilities yourself) or taking those powers from an outside source and channeling them through yourself into your intended recipient. That said you'd have to be careful how much power you gave another being as too much power in the wrong hands Will corrupt its possessor. But I would ask the being granting me these abilities to place a restriction of sorts on them. If I ever use my new powers in a dangerous way or one that would upset the natural balance this restriction would strip my powers from me but leave all memories of having had them intact. I'm not sure what you mean by "selective power bestowal" (and I'd like you to explain that), but you can't pick Telekinesis because, as I've said before, it's under the Almighty Powers category and one of the rules is: No Absolute or Almighty Powers. Even if it's low level, Telekinesis is still Telekinesis. Telekinetic Force is the best alternative I can suggest if you want something close to Telekinesis. It's "low level" in the sense that its applications are restricted to the basic and advanced levels of Telekinesis, but the basic and advanced levels can be used with a sheer level of power.

By the way, if want to place restrictions on yourself and prevent yourself from getting too powerful or whatever, you can just ask for Limitation Inducement and use that to place whatever restrictions you want on yourself. As a bonus, you can use Power Bestowal and use Limitation Inducement to place a limiter like: "If you're becoming corrupt from your power, you won't be able to use your abilities until you're no longer corrupted."

Of course, going with Power Bestowal and Limitation Inducement for your two powers prevents you from getting Telekinetic Force or Telepathy initially. Fortunately, you can ask for Self-Power Bestowal instead of Power Bestowal (which only gives powers to other people), give yourself Power Bestowal, and then you can give yourself Telekinesis (which you can now have because you're not asking the divine, nigh-omnipotent being for it) and Telepathy. With that, you'd have five powers: you picked and started with Self-Power Bestowal and Limitation Inducement, and then you gave yourself Power Bestowal, Telekinesis, and Telepathy.
