[x] Check the pile of armor. But be quick.
You decide that you can spare a moment to check what's left of the Guardian's armor. Sheathing your sword for the time being, you pick up the specter's empty helm - which proves to be every bit as heavy as it looks - and move over to investigate the pile of metal plates.
"Alex?" Briar asks, following in your wake.
"This'll just take a sec, Briar," you assure her, setting the helmet down next to the rest of the armor, and giving the whole set a quick once-over.
It's as unimpressive as a giant, previously-spectrally-animated suit of armor can get. No visibly glowing pieces, no obvious auras of spiritual or magical energy - at least not beyond the lingering necromantic taint built up over Goddesses only know how many centuries of posession and/or occupation by the Guardian's spirit - and certainly nothing that stands out and says "loot me!" to your Gerudo-informed sensibilities. And the suit as a whole is just too damn big for you to stuff in your dimensional pocket, not to mention that all the acid damage you did to it makes the central pieces pretty much useless except as scrap.
As far as taking trophies or potential reagents goes, you figure you have three choices. Option One is to take the gauntlets. They're undamaged, and reasonably representative of the Guardian's capabilities - it even punched you with one of them, so you've got a sympathetic connection going there. Option Two is to take the helmet. It's damaged, which brings down its value a bit, and it's got more mass than both of those steel mitts put together, so it'll be a bit harder to pocket, but it's also arguably the most significant piece of the suit - the center of consciousness, the part where the Guardian's essence withdrew when it was wounded, and the place where it died. All very good reasons to choose it. Option Three is to take the mace. It's easily the most visually-impressive piece, not to mention a formidable weapon in its own right; you're just worried that you might not be able to fit it in your dimensional pocket, which would mean you'd either have to dump more of your mana into keeping the thing hidden everyday, or find some other place to tuck it away back in Sunnydale - and not only would exposing the Guardian's necromantically-imbued primary weapon to the Hellmouth quickly degrade its value as a reagent for non-evil purposes, it would be just ASKING for some demon or more actively evil spirit to come along and claim the thing.
You suppose you could try to take two or more of the items, but then you'd DEFINITELY need to expand your storage pocket or look into alternate arrangements.
Which will it be?
[ ] Pocket the gauntlets.
[ ] Pocket the helmet.
[ ] Pocket the mace.
[ ] Leave them all where they lie.
