I have been given a number of options, what is the one that sums it up best:
Sum id quod sum
Ego sum qui sum
Sum qui sum

Sum quod sum.
No 'ego' would be used - Romans kept words to a minimum.
I don't understand then 'id'. That means 'it' in either nominative or accusative case, and seems to have no place in this sentence at all.
'Sum qui sum' would make a good sentence, but it would mean 'I am who I am'

I think it's "sum qui sum". The subject in latin is already expressed by the verb form (sum = I am), so you don't have necessarily to repeat it.
(sorry for my english, I'm italian)

i think it would be
(ego) sum quod (ego) sum
sum qui sum means i am who i am
ego is optional
Hope that helps ;)

sum id quod sum
That's the only one that's really saying what you want it to.
