How to manage task queues for async stuff

Hey everyone, I'm building out a new system and need to deal with a bunch of background tasks, you know, like resizing images, sending emails, and putting together reports. I'm thinking about using a message queue, but I can't decide between a basic FIFO queue or one with priorities. What do you all usually do when you have to manage tasks that run in the background? And when do you think the extra trouble of a priority queue is actually worth it compared to a regular one?
