Where would you rank it? More important than a mask, regulator, tank, fins, BC, wetsuit, SPG...
Absolutely every piece of gear I carry is more important than a snorkel.
In the situations where you indicate using a snorkel, I prefer a regulator. The amount of gas breathed while on the surface is negligible and I don't have to carry an entanglement hazard strapped to my head.
