Yeah, GoP instantly take you to maximum strength (25) and do an additional +6 damage for everything wielded or thrown. No (positive) effects on launched projectiles in Vanilla though. Definitely worth burning a wish on as a Rogue...

If I had to choose, I would go with darts. No messing around with a launcher. This could be useful since many rogues tend to "devolve" into a two-weapon fighter in the later game. Also, darts will receive a significant boost from Gauntlets of Power, as will the rest of the rogue offensive game. But crossbow? None...
You would have to eat 400 meatballs to get the same nutritional values as a single huge chunk of meat...
