Wheelset...a lighter wheelset with a higher engagement hubset. Many options out there. Can get significant upgrades starting at $400 with some serious premium wheels at $1K
I would spend the money on a fork with a 15mm qr and have your front wheel relaced with a new hub. No point in upgrading the wheel set with 9mm qr...sorry, but that axle belongs on road bikes, not mountain bikes.
I went from a 9mm qr to a 15mm and there is no way I will get another bike with standard qr unless it's a road bike or a commuter.

I'd say that step one is to buy a wheelset that is BOTH 9mm AND 15mm compatible and then next buy a 15mm fork. Unless a guy thinks he wants to go 20mm TA which drastically limits options - likely you'd need to buy a 20mm wheelset and fork together.
I just bought a Easton Haven wheelset which is 9mm and 15mm compatible out of the box.
