It depends alot on what the rate is. If you have already consolidated the loan when the rates were lower, I'd say put it in the Roth. However with rates going up and since it is an unsubsidized loan, it may be better to pay that off now. I have personally been putting more money to a Roth since you cannot "make up" for years that you have skipped.
I'd disagree with the statement above. There are numerous times where you'd want to save money as opposed to throw it into your current debt. I think most would agree that it is very situation specific as to where the money should go.
