Why not just take it a step further, and go full Jean Grey? She can do everything Magneto can do, and then some. She affects things on the atomic level with her psychokinesis, so she can literally split or combine atoms to be whatever she wants them to be. She could make a nuke out of thin air, or stop a nuke from exploding by turning the isotope into lead. No need to manipulate the iron in your blood when she can just manipulate your blood cells directly.
But this also sort of misses the point of the question, I think. The question was about which powers would be most useful. In reality, I don’t have a lot of use for being able to manipulate metals. It may come in handy occasionally… But unless they go full superhero/villain mode, there’s very little practical use for the average person. Unless you’re a welder or work in construction, because being able to warp metal doesn’t have a lot of practical applications for an office drone.
You could do cable runs effortlessly though!
