The vendor rings and amulets have always been a staple of mine, and I have yet to find ring or amulet drops -- even rare ones -- that beat the vendor rings and amulets. Vendor ones with +damage plus int and vitality are my favorite, although ones with +attack speed and vitality are nice as well. On occation, when I get to a new difficulty, I'll end up replacing some of my weaker armor pieces with vendor items until I find or craft something better along the way. But the rings and amulets from the fences are especially good.
I always check him (since he has bows too). Rings are the one thing I seem to have had a lot of luck with. My Demon Hunter is still using one from Normal difficulty:
+5-10 Damage
+14 Strength
+79 Vitality
+14 Poison Resistance
+11% Extra Gold from Monsters

The Socket is probably the biggest thing. It means I always have a top-gem in there in addition to its other rather nice stats. clvl requirement of 31, and I am yet to see anything that beats it. My other ring is even better, but clvl requirement of 50 (Diablo dropped it in Nightmare). I have not once seen the fence offer something that improved life, damage OR protection over this one.
May the wind pick up your heels and your sword strike true.
