Pole grip.

Sword strap if you can use it without losing your 6hit

Nailed it. Sword Strap always wins if doesn't cut your X Hit down. If it will, Pole Grip is second in line. If you need a bit more STP to keep X Hit Rose strap is the best for the gains you are giving up from the Pole Grip.

Pole normally unless you can use sword without cutting your 6-hit or if you are not tping on a mob and just saving up to 300tp for SC. In which case mythril+1 would win.

Yeah, this all depends on your weapon's delay and how much storeTP you have.

Sword strap is a -% weapon delay reduction, but it reduces your TP per hit as well. If it doesn't affect your X-hit build, it will be your best option. (Also the -weapon delay% from sword strap is calculated first, not at the same time as haste.)

If the StoreTP from Rose strap is needed for a lower X-hit build, then Rose strap would be the best grip to use in that case.

If, neither sword strap nor rose strap are applicable, go with Pole grip.
