I've used three extra slots on Brawl in one build to house 4 pieces of Kinetic Combat for the 3.75% S/L Def. Usually I have powers that can make better use of those slots.
ETA: I try to avoid set mules whenever I can, and unless it's a case of hardcore min/maxing, I try to spend my slots in things I'll actually be using even if it'll make some aspect of the build 1% less efficient.

Lately I've just been using brawl to hold a single lvl20 dam/rech enhancement... one of the gamestop pre-order ones.
But if your talking a maximum of one extra slot for up to 2 IOs max, your options are limited:
- Bomesnap, Smashing Haymaker, Kinetic Combat, Focused Smite, Touch of Death, Crushing Impact, and Mako's Bite 2 slot bonuses are all Immobilize Resistance (1.1% to 3.3%)
- Pulverizing Fisticuffs gives you sleep resistance (2.2%)
- Bruising blow and Hectacomb give a recovery bonus (1% and 4%, respectively)
- Pounding Slugfest gives a regeneration bonus (8%)
- Gladiator's Strike also gives a recovery bonus (2.5%) and a max endurance increase in PvP (2.25%)
So unless you're really hurting for a little extra recovery or regeneration, I wouldn't bother to put just a single extra slot in brawl - just stick a single lvl50 IO of your choice in there and call it done. Also a good place to stick a Centriole Exposure HO, as a kind-of "I raided hami and all I got was this crappy Centriole" tshirt.

yeah the problem is there's no global IO that can be slotted in it. Unsurprisingly perhaps, I think it would become one of the most popular and expensive IOs in game ;-)

I ran the cape mission at lvl 50, got a lvl 49 Accuracy TO as a reward at the end and slotted it into Brawl just 'cause. I think it gives me a whopping 9% bonus or something.

I always put a Kinetic Combat: Chance to Knockdown in Brawl. That turns Brawl into a frequent Air Superiority (proc goes off often enough) without the -Fly.
And I do not put any other slots in it. Usually by the time I get around to getting K-Combat, I have plenty of accuracy bonuses going from sets or from other ACC boosts. And until I do get that K-Combat, Brawl always gets an accuracy.
Most of my Corruptors have Brawl slotted with Kinetic Combats to softcap S/L defense.

I have this on one of my tanks (the one where I slotted for 300+ % regen). I ran out of places to get the 8% bonus so I needed to use Brawl to get five of them.

Typically just forget about it. I'm more likely to make a power I use less than 1% better than I am making a power I never use any better. Placing enhancements in Brawl is like trying to multiply something by zero.
Ok maybe this is a little bit of overkill but I'm thinking if you're spending (almost literally?) billions on purpling out a toon, do you slot brawl and if so with what? I almost never use Brawl as an attack past level 10, so I've never really slotted it.
However it occurs to me that I might be missing a bit of a trick even if find a nice global that gives me like a 1 or 2% advantage. Am I correct and if so what do you guys recommend?
Oh and just for the record, premting anyone who might be tempted to make a wisecrack, I'm not intending to 6 slot it with Obliteration or something silly. I'm talking one IO, with an absolute max of 2 if I can really justify it.
