Guillotine. Insurgency is like guillotine -1 but you can self SC with cross reaper. I am not sure why someone would tell you spiral hell is any good. If you are in a situation where it would be better than guillotine, you would use GS instead of Scythe anyway.

Only reason I use Insurgency is to Sekka Guillo > Insurgency for some extra Compression damage.

Catastrophe.

For a normal DRK guillotine and insurgency are awesome. I find cross reaper to be more of a situational WS and usually use it to open/close darkness or when a monster has really low HP. Spiral Hell is even more situational in my opinion. It's only one hit and doesn't do much damage unless you have 300%. 300% Spiral Hell + Sneak Attack is fun and can deal some nice damage, however you will probably do better using great sword + spinning slash instead of scythe with THF sub.

If you can not get Apoc, which is what Trauma is referring to when he mentioned "Catastrophe" I am guessing, try ToM scythes. Good selection and not hard to do.

If you don't wanna do the OAT scythe I recommend the STR/ATT Absolution since it's fairly easy to get and a strong scythe. The Redemption trials are stupidly difficult atm (last one, with the 50 items).
