If you are playing a single-class cleric, then definitely take one of the specialty priest kits. They add bonus special abilities, and have no downside whatsoever. The only time you should play a regular (no kit) cleric is if you are multiclassing or dual classing.
Priest of Lathander: Casts Hold undead (weak, considering you can turn/destroy them), and Boon of Lathander (good booster spell that protects against level drain, among other things)
Priest of Helm: Casts True sight (do I need to tell you this is good?) and Seeking sword (creates a magic sword that the cleric can use as if proficient).
Priest of Talos: Casts Lightning Bolt (not great, but at least it is an extra offensive spell) and Stormshield (I actually forget this one, but it is a defensive spell).
I have always believed that the Specialty Priest of Helm is more useful to the party, especially with the extra True Sights.
