Much of what you ask is personal preference. Stock Vikings are excellent and don't need upgrades to be first rate markers. Also, I don't care much about weight, while others want to shed every gram possible from their marker. If you are such a minimalist, milling will rate highly for you. If you are into bright colors, an anno job would rate highly. Otherwise, . . .
Assuming your '04 is fully stock and in good working order, you need a good board to run your marker. I like Tadao, but others prefer Pandora and yet others prefer WAS. If you have a Pandora board, Rmod is a highly desirable change. You will want WAS 2.0 if you have a WAS board.
Next, I much prefer a clamping feedneck to the stock feedneck, and I like no-rise over any other height. Moving down, if you have a SCM 1, you may be able to improve consistency with an internal LPR or an SCM 3. Gripframes are almost purely personal preference. I like my stock frames, but I am growing more fond of the FBM Fierce on my new-to-me Rollout. Grip panels are also personal preference but are significant in comfort considerations. Ditto with triggers. My FBM Fierce came with a delrin wave trigger that I like a lot, but I also feel the stock blade triggers are comfy enough I don't routinely swap out those.
