My personal additions:

* CanCan for authorization (it also integrates nicely with devise)

* webmock for testing (because sooner or later I always end up with some slow network call in tests)

I've grown to like Authority more than Cancan. It does 'less' magic but it's way more declarative and allows you to be really explicit on what you want to check.
