This really depends on the layout I'm making. Sometimes, I'll open a kit and make a page. Other times, I've got 6 products from 4 designers open and I'm looking for just the right word strip or flair for my page.
I seem to be always looking for good background papers - small patterns, interesting solids, painted pages, etc. I also browse through products looking for themed words, titles, strings, leaves, the right flower or button. I love to add dates to my pages using a stamp, brush, or wordy bit. Those usually aren't in kits. I do some pages that are very color specific; so I will pull the right color items from anywhere I can find them.
