You might want to consider using the keywords and phrase as Yahoo does use that meta now, and since a link from Yahoo does count in your ranking in Google, it defintiely does play a part.
I have always used both phrases and words, and guidelines published by Yahoo and others suggest that a two or three word phrase do definitely work in the meta.
Keep in mind also that all SEs (yep even Google) - do look at the meta for length and repeatibilty for the possibility of scamming so it is in your best interest to keep them within the W3C guidelines
