Sounds like some conflicting data between going for 1hand vs 2hand. Guess ill see what's available for the cheapest.

There's no conflicting data. 1-20 optimally will be one of the suggested 1H weapons and possibly a second if you can arrange it. ~100p each. However, if you get a chance to get a Wu's Quivering Staff at a good price (or as a gimmie), don't hesitate to use it before level 20.

Unless you have money for a SoS (1H) ~2.8K and one of the suggested 1HB weapons by level 20, 20-30 is prime time for Wu's Quivering Staff (2H) ~150p.

By 30, you should be able to afford either an SoS (pair with whatever your old 1H was, trade up to a Knuckle Duster, or add a second SoS), PB (2H), or IFS (2H). At that point, it becomes debatable as to what is "best", but not as to what is the most dps -- SoS x2.
