might not be the coolest, but definitly the strongest (at least for me and I have told that already in similar threads): 1.09 Ravenclaw

Not as good as RTB's, but still kill anything in act 1 normal with one hit on normal attack, and useable at level 1 by all except sorc and druid.

Wirt's leg!
Although for damage, id have to go for the 6 socket great maul with hels.

6 socket War Axe (or could use Crystal Sword, less damage but lighter) with 6 rare jewels that each have +4 min damage on them (everything else is bonus, although the -reqs is obviously very useful). Not as high damage as the HelMaul, but hits quite a lot faster and is one handed. Does need you to get to level 3 though.

My own vote went to the Scythe, because it looks cool and is still useful, the last jewel could be switched out with something else though (unless you're making base strength sorceress ;P)

You've got it all wrong... The best thing about starting a new character is the exciting prospect that the next weapon you find is almost certainly going to be better than the one you have..It's also nice to actually buy a viable weapon, or just find one without doing endless runs.. but if I have to choose then Thruggs War axe looks totally sweet.

Cool != effective it doesnt matter what is faster, higher damage, etc.

Nothing is cooler than the biggest, most destructive looking whomping stick you can find. Therefore the 6 hel great maul wins, followed closely by some sort of scythe.

But think I don't twink so I picked the non twinking durf option.

I tend to agree w/ this and only twink after normal. My fave is a sword w/ steel or stregnth in it as those runes are fairly easy to get.
