Overall, at level 17, what would you say are the must have's for a level 17 melee person?

Either way, pearls of power are great, since they allow you to cast your buffing spells several times per day (assuming you're not Persisted, anyway). Belts of battle are good, as are anklets of translocation and a tooth of Leraje (from Tome of Magic) -- the latter will save you spell slots (or power points) on Greater Magic Weapon (or the equivalent).

Helm of bravery from Munchkin.

We really need to know more about your build first I think. Some sort of protective gear is pretty important though.

Unless you already have these abilities you MUST have them for melee:

Freedom of Movement (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/freedomOfMovement.htm) (Being grappled sucks)
Flight (Can't hit what you can't reach)

That Third Eye that grants Mind Blank is pretty nice.

Or a Wizard.

Anyway, after you buy the items to counter the various ways that an enemy can make melee irrelevant at level 17, get the biggest two-handed weapon you're proficient with and give it the most versatile set of enhancements you can afford.
