The swashbuckler kit gets the most use out of Use Any Item. Backstabbing takes some prep (running away to hide, carrying a ton of invis potions, etc.). There is a dagger in ToB that's perfect for backstabbing though, it's the one that has a chance of making you invis when you hit a creature with it. The dagger is +5 too.
Use Any Item is the best. And like I said, the swashbuckler's kit bonus really helps when wielding Carsomyr or the Axe of the Unyielding. I would trade backstab for that. Normally, thieves are not front line types, but the swashbuckler kit is the exception. You'll have the lowest AC in the party. Also, thieves level fast. Check the xp tables in the manual.
