WoW at least has more stat variety on its gear. Removing Accuracy in FFXIV, at least right now, would make gearing up even more bland than it already is. :/

Which one would you chose ?
The "best" option here is probably Rage of Halone, since it has a higher enmity modifier than Savage Blade (at least, as far as I recall, it does). This would allow you more Royal Authority combos while tanking since you wouldn't need as many Rage combos to hold hate. The best option for OT is probably the Fast Blade one.

But that's not really a very interesting choice (in terms of raw potency, they're all identical over a full 9-GCD rotation, and none of them would significantly make you different from the next PLD).
