IMO it depends on your party.
I usually include a monk in a melee-heavy party. In this case, i use martial arts and a Bo/Hayai Bo at start, switch to Staff of Doom when i get it, and use martial arts + Zatoichi Bo near the end.
If you play a more range-oriented party (many missile users or casters), its better to stick at martial arts + throwing weapons or sling, to be able to do damage at range. Since the Staff of Doom is cursed, you don't have good range attacks otherwise.
