Which is the Better Weapon Choice?

So, I just recently made a paladin two days ago, and I'm at the point where I'll be needing a good weapon, soon.
Which weapon is the 'best'? VIP 1h? Crushed skull? Etc?
Price don't matter too much to me, but I don't really want to spend more than 5-6b, because I'd have to sell some of my equipment, otherwise. I'm hoping that is a sufficient amount, allowing me to find a pretty darn good weapon.
My friend bought a 200+ (I think it was around 208... maybe it was more, I can't remember) att Crushed Skull for 3.8b. I might wait out to find a good one of those for sale, but the speed is only normal, rather than fast, which could potentially make a big difference.
I found a 186 att (5 enhancements), 20% boss dmg, 18% total damage, VIP 1H Sword, which has a C/O of 4.7b. I'm not sure it's actual value, but would that be a better choice? Since the attack is fast, rather than normal. For better attack, I can continue to enhance it, as well. I could probably get it to 190-200att, when protection/shield scrolls return.

EDIT:
I found a 172att (no slots, but no hammers used, either) perfect empress mace, with no enhances, either. Hidden pot.
Would that be a better choice? I'm fine with enhancing and cubing it myself. With 5 enhances, it should be around 190att, and then I can use an epic pot scroll + a stamp (if needed) and cube it to unique, and work on that from there.

Soo. Any ideas?
Cheaper, slower, slightly stronger 1h mace?
More expensive, faster, slightly weaker 1h sword?
Cheaper, faster, work in process 1h mace?

[quote=Seodan]If I were you, I would go for that 1h sword (since I could share it with my hero and DW, although I hate the look so I'd get an anvil for that )

as for the price, I bought [url=http://i.imgur.com/41JVPQf.jpg]this[/url] for 3.7, so that might help you out (although people tell me I overpaid)[/quote]

LOOOL the message in your shop.
OT: Try to get a 'Fast' speed weapon, Crushed Skull will reduce your DPS, you just need to keep looking until you find the perfect weapon for you. I'm still here unable to find a 2h Sword for my Kaiser...

Sword's pros: they're generally faster (not all of them) and are more common in markets. The pros for hammer: they're cheap compared to swords and look better imo.

1h Maces are definitely cheaper than 1h swords. I have been trying to find a multi purpose sword for my hero,pally and mikhail but the prices are way more expensive. I got my 70% boss 9% total damage skull for 4b in comparison to a 1h VIP sword with 180 atk 30% boss for 4b.

Ah, empress maces are nice, as well. They're fast, which is great.

I'm going to edit my original post to include that weapon, and one that I found.

Yeah, if it came down to looks, I'd be using a 2H sword. Stonetooth swords are awesome, appearance-wise. <3
However, a lot of paladin skills require a shield, for extra attack and defense boosts. I'd much rather use a 1h weapon + shield.
