Generally a higher damage score. Assuming you're using the weapon with someone who has a high chance to hit the opponent, such as a fighter, increasing the chance to hit someone by 2 is not going to make much of a difference. However, adding 2 damage to each attack is still going to be useful - it always affects the outcome of the attack, whereas +2 to the chance to hit is generally not making a difference.
