WARNING A BUNCH OF SPOILERS STALKING HERE!!!
Sulo's Hook, the +1 AC dagger, is practically useless, Deflection is acquired better through different items, not weapons. I'd take Short Sword for the Brilliant one, or the Assassin. Longswords(scimitars) are not bad, and when combined with Improved Critical and, later, Exevutioner Eyes, every hit will be a critical.
P.S.
Marty, you have a thing for greataxes, right?
