Default Monks: Weapons

Ok, I know this has been done to death in various forms, if you have a post you feel answers this question please direct me to it as I am unable to locate it.

This is only about monk damage below lvl 50 as it seems there is some pretty good parsed numbers out there for monk dmg beyond 50.

With FBSS, what setups are doing the most dmg? Let's forget the obvious like T-Staffs, SoS's, and RFS's for a second. Most of those reach beyond the extent of our bank accounts and it would seem to reason that they would top the charts anyways so I don't really see the point in going over it.

Some obvious choices are

IFS
Peacebringer
Jade Mace
Knuckle Duster
Adamantite Club

Does anyone have any hard data on this? Anyone have any experiential conclusions they swear by? Interested to hear your opinions.

It's hard(for me) to theoretically come to a conclusion when considering things like faster weapons increasing the chance to double attack and mainhand bonus with faster weapons. I've seen monks with FBSS under 50 dual wield KD's and do some pretty serious dmg, swearing they'd rather have a KD in the main hand than something fast like a JM.

I would think that something like dual AC's would do some pretty serious dmg with FBSS.

Here is all I have to contribute from my own personal experience. It is limited to 2h b, but so far I prefer faster weapons. This might very well be because these are still levels where we experience a lot of missed hits and we're not double attacking as often as one would beyond 50. But, for example, I prefer WQS over Staff of Battle and noticed enough difference after trying both to side with WQS.

If you have any good info, I think it could help a lot of people out. The server is packed with monks with access to these weaps below 50. Thanks to anyone who contributes.
