Just because someone doesn’t have BiS doesn’t mean they shouldn’t objectively pick the best option available to them.
I can’t remember the last time I was impressed by a monk and an epic/sos. A Peacebringer on the other hand has surprised me. That’s a 500p weapon every monk can and should at least own past level 30. The parsing at 60 on challenging stuff just has these 2h’s running further ahead unless you have at minimum priceless fists.
Unlike real life, there is far less subjective truth in EQ. It’s just a big calculator with a fantasy theme. Like Crede said, people are overthinking this. Or worse, they know the right answer but are trying to justify the worse one to be quirky (only to get out-dpsed by mage water pets).

100% agree but if someone wants to use 1h because reasons, it isn't a major disadvantage for that content, at least not as much as some think. AC + BoRS/SOS is probably shines a bit more when you're stuck tanking or dealing with casters...
But yeah, peacebringer is nice, staff of battle is 250pp if you're on a budget or want something 28% lighter and wu's QS like 75pp. Monk has so many good cheap 2hb options at this point, especially for leveling pre 40s, it would be crazy to pass them up. Just carry a wu stick to keep 1hb leveled and then at 60 you can broaden your horizons if you feel like testing stuff.
Most of that stuff is already figured out but your circumstances may vary. "Trust but verify" doesn't hurt especially when all those weapons are sub 5kpp.
