It's a close call, but a full-frame sensor takes first

I slightly prefer an in-camera anti-shake system, over the full-
frame sensor. Of course, having both would be wonderful. The full
frame sensor should also have a lot more megapixels, and still
somehow keep the cost down. I don't want to be stuck at 6.1
megapixels forever, but I can't afford to buy one of the current
full-frame-sensor cameras made by the other manufacturers.
Having had both (Konica Minolta A2 and Panasonic FZ10 for in-body,
Canon 10D + 300/4L IS for in-lens), I'd have to say that the in-lens
solution is more effective. It can be optimized for a single lens'
focal length(s), which seems to allow up to 1 stop of additional
stabilization control. And the body doesn't have to be overly bulky
to support the movement of the sensor.
Does anyone else currently do anti-shake inside the camera body? I
thought the only systems currently available relied on special anti-
shake lenses?
Konica Minolta's 7D and 5D DSLRs implement anti-shake in the camera
body. Panasonic has it on several fixed lens models, as does Ricoh,
Canon, Sony and probably a couple others.
For me, low noise/high ISO and a fast lens are much more important
than anti-shake up to about 150-200mm focal length. Then anti-shake
becomes invaluable for low light work.
