Don't understand a particular rule or just need to clarify something? This is the forum for you. With 2 of the BBRC members and the main LRB5/6 writer present at TFF, you're bound to get as good an answer as possible.
I think the only time I'd pass up a +ST would be if I rolled it for my Human Thrower (in which case it would be in favor of "Stong Arm," which makes sense anyway). One of my linemen recently got a +Ag - I had to think about whether to keep it or give him a skill (it's his 1st one, see...) but in the end I've kept it. +MA I'd take on anyone but a lineman.
I have given up +Ag on a skaven lineman for block instead, but by this time this poor linerat had a -1MA and a Niggling Injury as well. I use him as an expendable, so I din't want to get to attached to him.
And if you have access to physicals with the player in question, always give up a double 5 +MA, for long legs of course.

technically, not always, because statistically it is more likely that you get another doubles than another 10. so if you're going for 2 increases in MA, getting +MA first is "good" planning.

I very very rarely turn down stat increases.
S4 human throwers are great runners. He's already got Sure Hands & give him Block and he's hard to get the ball off - on top of which he can unload the ball easily too.
I'd never take VLL instead of +MA. You've got a better chance of rolling a double than another MA increase so the natural one turner is easier to develop that way.
I gave up +AG for my Saurus but kept +1MA for another one.

Not much experience with ST increase... I would not give it up, I think.
But I frequently give up +AG for my Longbeards. They are trying to get +AG in this disgusting way (lastly 3 times in a row): Longbeard and Runner improves - Runner normal skill, Longbeard +AG. I just cried, it is not for YOU! Now I am living in a paralel reality, where I have an AG4 and an AG5 Runner in my Dwarf team...

Well, I recently gave up the first stat increase I had in my short coach's life. +1MA on a linerat to give him kick instead. If only I could've gained it with my GRs
