Firetooth with a buckler (eventually can use any shield once you get the outrageously powerful ability Use Any Item) is awesome for AC if you wanna be tanky. Firetoooth is just way better as a +3 dagger with range and it's fast too. For BG2:EE I think it would be awesome to see an end game longbow option that makes it worth putting proficiency. In the end the quality of arrows doens't matter much most of the time because it. Going into TOB, there's Dagger of the Star, which is a routine endgame upgradeable weapon. Weapons of choice in BG2 for Paladins including blackguards are Flail of the Ages and Defender of Easthaven, which are both flails and Foebane, which is a bastard sword, though Foebane only really kicks in with the upgrade in ToB.
