Far and away the best is FLAME STING!!  however you do not find this till 
much later in the game.

The best early on depends on your preference.  The hammer of strength does
1-19 damage.  Slayer on the otherhand does 4-14 points but has the added
advantage of having a 10% chance of a lethal blow.  Personlly, I liked
the dagger, Korghin's Fang, which does 7-13 but adds 4 dexterity points 
and 1 to armour class.  Protector is not bad either as it does 5-17 and
4 pts. to defense dexterity and FIVE points to your armour class.

Hope this helps.
