id have to go with the axe of unyielding. one in ten chance of death, no save is very beefy and far better than just pounding them down to their last hit point. and the regeneration will save you tons of those precious healing potions and spells.
crom's ok and might get a nod just because it's a blunt weapon, but with all the STR boosting items (belts: 19,20,21,22, etc) and spells, an extra +2 or 3 to THAC0 and dmg is rather miniscule in ToB where most fighters' THAC0's are below -10 anyway and causing 3 more points of damage is laughable against those creatures with more than 150 hp (and creatures with less to do die easily even if youre wielding a mop handle).
