The choice rooms (lemy.lol)

There are two rooms and only one key. One key leads to 3-4 things for the player. The other leads to a single item contained in a chest?

The room with 3-4 things always seems like a pretty good deal, as opposed to choosing a chest. After all, how do I know that what is in the chest is worth as much or more than those 3-4 things?

Under what circumstances is it better to choose the mystery chest over the 3-4 rewards? Why would anyone choose the chest instead?

I always go for the chest except if in the endgame, and there's a transmutation scroll on it. I am rephrasing that. I always go for the scroll if it is the transmutation one, and in the end game, I don't really care about what to choose. But in the early game I pick the chest 100% of the time. A free ring / wand / artifact is always more handy than a potion of freezing, a potion of paralytic gas and a scroll of recharging.
