Skalds are the best choice if you want your bard to help the party more than dealing damage, but if you really want him to fight I would go for a Blade, my favourite bard kit ( and amongst my favourite classes altoghether.)
Offensive spin works wonders, especially combined with Tensers Transformation which gives you the same THAC0 as an fighter with the same level. Also know that a bard is a single class character, a level 15 bard with TT fights almost as good as a level 15 fighter ( minus weapons prof.)

To summarize, skalds makes for better party-buffing while blades are best played alone or in small groups.
