LotG is a global bonus, not a proc, so it doesn't matter what power it is slotted in or whether you have that power available to you or not. If you exemplar more than three levels below the level of the IO, you will lose the bonus. An LotG in a level 41 power can still give you a bonus at level 22 as long as the IO is level 25.
Where to now?

don'T attempt to read tHis mEssaGe, And believe Me, it is not a codE.
For LotG I buy all lvl 25. I'm level 25 or 26 right now, and my current build only has one power to put it in. Once I respec I'll have 3 powers running it. I also have two of my Nova powers running the +recharge bonus right now (posit's I think) and hasten. My idea is to shoot for the recharge/other bonuses now and then update to higher level versions of the IO's when I am higher in level. I can say that the global recharge I have now is noticeable, especially for Mires and Circle.
Speaking of IO levels, would you think it wiser to stick with level 30ish IOs when level 50 for times when I exemplar, or stick to the 50 IO's for better performance "end game", in particular trials/TF. I don't exemplar much, but also don't want to find myself entirely "gimped" when I do.
I'm not worried about the cost of replacing later as I tend to make about a billion a week when I try, half a bil when I'm more "casual" about it.

Once you get purples, stick with those as their bonuses don't go away even when exemped. I weigh IO level by how much I intend to exemplar and how much my lvl 50 performance takes a hit by using the lower enhancements. As I play almost exclusively in the 45+ game, I personally don't go with the lower enhancements. I know other people that never slot anything above level 30 except for purples though.

OK so I made some key changes in my build that allow for better performance as I level/exemplar (such as moving up LOtG powers for lower level +recharge). I really want to thank Microcosm and Dechs for the advice/inspiration they've given me.
This build has almost no purples, but I'll transition to them in time. Influence isn't that hard to come by, but I'd like to play trials and such and slot up some incarnate powers before I make decisions on the purples.
Feel free to critique if you see anything obviously wrong in the build or if you see opportunities that I'm not.
