I just got my Chest of Loyalty, but I have no idea on what I should choose from it.
What are the benefits of each of the choices?

I'll go through each option.
Grand Chest of Experience - contains 6 tomes of knowledge, which gives you 6 levels. It's up to you, of course, but I see this as a waste. Leveling up isn't hard, and 6 levels is easy to get. Not recommended
Chest of Plentiful Laurels - this is the option I went with for a long time, because you could spend the laurels on T6 crafting bags and get 60x T6 mats out of it. T6 mats have taken a hit with HoT coming out(some of them dropping by more than 80% of their previous value). So it's hard to say if this is justified. However, if you intend to get a GW2 original legendary, then T6 mats are always welcome since you need thousands of them for the Gift of Fortune. Also, there are a lot of vanity items that require laurels, and you can get ascended trinkets with laurels - both of which are up to you if you want them.
Chest of Legendary Crafting Materials - Contains 8 obsidian shards and 7 mystic clovers. If you want an original GW2 legendary, this is a pretty big chunk of Mystic Clovers.
Chest of Ascended Crafting Materials - Contains 1 Vision Crystal and 1-2 of the following: Bolt of Damask, Deldrimor Steel Ingot, Elonian Leather Square, Spiritwood Plank. If you're looking for the highest return on gold, this is probably your best option. Damask is ~14g, Deldrimor Steel Ingot is ~6g, Elonian Leather ~7.5g(and rising), Spiritwood is ~8g. If you want ascended armor or weapons, this should be your goto.
So the bottom three are decent choices. Avoid the experience for sure. The ascended mats have the highest gold return, the legendary mats give you 7 mystic clovers and save a good chunk of money, and laurels can help you get to a Gift of Fortune faster, as well as other laurel goodies.
