1-30, I would use 1h weapons. And since leveling 30-50 SoS x2 is the most dps you can do, I would start there. Even though you're applying the 1-8 (depending on level) damage bonus so less often, the ratio makes up for it. Everyone always says too slow without doing the math. And at 28 delay, you take less damage from ripostes and damage shields which is the big sell for 2H at those levels anyways.
I also like IFS over PB. And you keep that IFS forever (until you get better) for damage shield mobs you can't or don't want to dispell.
And yes, I also think Seahorse belt is the best haste bang for the buck.

A) were you a GM on EQMac?
B) the big sell for me personally on 2hb isn't the less riposte. It's the weapon swap. Monk has H2H skill as well, so monk can swign with 2hb, unequip, get a dual wield attack with secondary fist, then re-equip 2hb before delay is up for another swing. repeat.
It works even better when you get epic, because fist delay is 16 unhasted. So you can swing 2hb (typically around 30 delay), unequip, get a (potential) quad attack with both fists, and then re-equip before delay is up for another (potential) double attack with 2hb. It adds about another 30% DPS. With 2hb and epic fists - monk can (potentially) hit 6 attacks per round. At 60, this goes up to 9 attacks per round.
