I would bet Jade made and KD will beat out the trance sticks.
For primary dps, at that level range it's really hard to beat the IFS. PB will be a bit more normalized and less streaky, but PB doesn't catch up to and pass IFS until around level 43-44? Even after PB pulls ahead of IFS, there's something to be said for still rolling with the IFS. It's 6 pounds lighter for one ... and if you're soloing or tanking you'll not only eat fewer mob ripostes, your own ripostes will hit for that much harder. Both of them are great weapons and will parse within 3-5% of each other from levels 30-60 with IFS having the advantage until about 43-44 and PB slowly pulling beyond that level to the tune of about 2-4% more dps at 60.
Prior to the 43-44 range, the only real dps upgrade out there from IFS is a Tstaff. Even Ada club + SoS or dual SoS's should parse a hair behind the IFS. I'm not sure what level dual wield becomes really competitive again assuming Ada/SoS ... maybe another monk can shed some light.
