Preface: I have all 'essentials' to max and some more. I play mostly Skirmish (FW also) with some Domination as well.
I have my dropsuit and weapon skills quite where I want them to be for now atleast.
Options:
Detonation skill to 5 for Boundless Remotes/Proximities.
Armor Repair to 5 for dat Complex repper.
Hacking to 5 because Skirmish.
Shield Recharging to 5.
Swarm Launchers to 5.
Also Light Weapon Operation to 5 (have 4 in it) but is it smart to up it for mere 3% bonus to CPU?
I run mostly Scout/Commando with Assault (Once the skill bug is fixed, grrrr. Want my ScR to work).

Or you could just let the SP allocate to your pool so that when you do want something special you can get it right away.

Core skills, always core skills.
If you ever plan to PC hacking level V is a must. LW V is useful if you need the CPU, you never specified what race suits you use but I'm assuming Amarr since ScR, so CPU would be helpful.
Btw if you are intact running Amarr why would you want shield recharge? Pretty much useless for Amarr suits. |

I have 36M SP so I have the essentials as I said.
I run Amarr Assault, Min Commando and Gal scout.
Shield recharging because of the Commando honestly.
Hacking is one I'm leaning into also. I used to have Min logi so I didn't worry about it too much back then.
The reason I ask this is because I feel like trimming the loose ends which I have put off for too long.

I'm in the same place as you with ~37 million sp. With this latest sp bribe event i'm going to be able to finish the 'Dropsuit Upgrades' tab of the skill tree. Every. Single. Thing.
Also finishing off Proficiency 4 for current weapons and getting levels in the advanced fitting skills.
I like this approach because once it's done, any skill trained will be role-specific and directly affect combat. Then there's vehicles....
I support SP rollover.

If you play scout, I strongly recommend the eWar skills after electronics. Dampeners, Range Extenders, and Precision Enhancers are fun.

Distractions man, distractions!
This time though I didn't budge and go straight proto Ion Pistol for example. 
You go level 3 here and level 3 there and poof. There you go. no SP to spend anymore.
I have 1mil unallocated now but I'm becoming very stingy with it...

(Disclaimer: These are from a non-PC/Proto stomping perspective)
Considering using REs typically means either chasing tanks or CQB as a scout, I wouldn't consider running proto REs (a flux and 3 REs can take out pretty much every tank).
I don't typically fit complex repairs because of their fitting costs, though repair bonus alone would be nice.
Hacking 3 is all that is needed to hack something before someone spawns, though higher levels wouldn't hurt.
I'd only consider this if you're a Cal heavy stacking proto energizers. Just use STD or ADV energizers, but if you think you'd make good use of proto/ the bonus, go for it. Couldn't hurt.
Swarms are fairly decent now (at least on a Min commando). If you think they're useful and are willing to run proto in pubs, go for it.
Calculate how much CPU you'll save and if your fits are really tight on CPU. Use protofits.com to see what you can fit differently after.

LOL in that case i'd suggest getting the core skills to level 5 first.
Shield
Armor
Hacking
Movement and so on....
Swarms are lost cost at the moment... May be when they come back

You don't have armor repair to 5?
And you're running an amarr assault?
-_-
While everyone keeps saying hacking is important, if you already have it to 4 save your sp for now.
Next best thing would be the light weapon operations to 5. If you use prototype weapons this skill will help in the long run. BUT if you don't have any CPU fitting problems then use it somewhere else.
If you really like swarm launchers and use them a lot then at least get to proficiency 2 in them. However if there is a weapon that you use constantly, I'd recommend getting ammo cap to 3, and other skills within the tree bumped up until it starts costing more than 300k for a single upgrade.
Shield recharging give you a VERY small bonus from 3 to 5 unless you're running caldari suits, which you are not. (I've tried it on my alt, trust me on this one)
Detonation skill to 5 for boundless remotes? Unless you can fit them on your scout (try it with aur, or faction equipment), you're not getting any other bonus from that skill. ADV are already really good as it is.
________________________________________________
Right now I have 40 million+ and my next major purchase is to get another suit to proto or some weapon profs to 5. My last few skills I got to 5 were hacking, active scanners, and laser rifles.
