Whatever still looks good in 16x16 would be a good option IMO :-)
One reason why the spanner could be the best option, though, is a 
design foundation of BeOS/Haiku: to deliver the best defaults possible. 
You should only need to go into the preferences to "fix" something 
(like the screen resolution), not just to check if everything is 
configured okay :-)

BTW, the Amiga used question marks to indentify the preferences icons - 
that might be questionable, too, though ;-)
