“For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” (Mat. 16:26).
In 2 Peter, we are told that someday the earth will undergo a fiery renovation. All of nature and everything man has created will be completely destroyed.
“..The heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness” (2 Pet. 3:10-11).
What is more important to you?

If by soul you mean your principles, your integrity, then naturally that is more important. I'm not sure what exactly is a break in my integrity, and this is of course very important. After all, if it's ok to lose a little bit of integrity, how is it still integrity? Still, at some point my life would have to give way for my principles. I hope. But heaven? Hah! I hope I have the integrity to refuse that.

You pose two questions. Don't think you are playing fair here.
You ask " What is more important to you"
What is more important to me is,Love.
What is more important to you? To love or to be right.
Pay close attention to what the apostles all agreed upon on what Jesus said. It was about love. This is were they agreed the most.
Love and let God be right.
The rest will come after, weither the physical or Soul is more important.
Don't forget that Soul uses this physical body to get its experience, body in poor shape, not so good of experiences.
God love Soul and wants the best for it.

Both are important because at the end of the world are soul rejoins with our body. We shouldn't treat our bodies with disdain nor treat our spirituality as a nonenity. There were actual sects that would treat their body badly thinking this was the best way to glorify their soul.. but we are both.. and we need treat them equally the same.

The Genesis account shows that a living soul results from the combination of the earthly body with the breath of life.The expression 'breath of the force [ru'ach,of life]" [Ge 7:22] indicates that it is by breathing air [with its oxygen] that the life- force , or 'spirit,' in all creatures, man and the animals,is sustained.This life force is found in every cell of the creature's body.My body and soul are one and the same.

My soul. I like to think my soul is in better shape than my body, and perhaps more attractive. That sounds superficial but that's not what I meant. I do get tired of being "plain" though, and being told "you have a good personality" which is polite-speak for "You're ugly."

Certainly, my eternal soul matters a great deal more to me. The physical body is merely a temporary vessel for the soul.

Many people see themselves as having a soul. This is not correct.
They are a soul temporarily experiencing it's self as a body.
Not a body with a soul.
A soul with a body.

Just to get it out, I'm an athiest.
But to answer your question, soul.
Beauty without soul is artificial, but there is no such thing as soul without beauty because your soul is what makes a person beautiful.
