Independent of the defense, I want Lighthouse over Silver in a Scrying Pool game no question (and obviously Fishing Village). The defense there is just a bonus but I want Lighthouse even without its defensive capability there.
Merchant Ship is more interesting. Maybe I take one over a Gold in a Duchy/Duke game where I am using an engine to get there?
Also, in the Stay out of the Way category, I want Merchant Ship over Gold in a Tunnel game. I'm going to get Gold in that kind of game anyway but a Merchant Ship often makes the C-C-C-T-E hand that often happens a heck of a lot more useful than had I played a Gold on the previous turn
