I have searched through the forums and found countless chosen info about built and equipment, but not about weaponry. I am referring to a defensive snb chosen that needs to support 6-24men. I will tag all the available choices:

I added the 51 sc wep that gives regen, cause I heard from some ppl that they like it even without regen built.

IMPORTANT: Please justify your opinion :)
I can start typing what is my opinion, but I am opening a topic to learn yours.

To me, the BiS S/B combo is [Shieldbearer's Herald of Anathema] with [Sentry's Chaosaxe of Tyranny] or [Sentry's Chaosaxe of Anathema] (strenght instead of regeneration, a bit more wounds/toughness).

I don't like the disrupt bonus of [Sentry's Herald of Anathema] because you can easily have access to disrupt thanks to Hold the line and I prefer the parry bonus of [Shieldbearer's Herald of Anathema] to parry guard damage.

I tried a few times the [Fortress Guard] but I didn't notice if I survived more during WB raid thanks to the absorb proc, so no reason to take it.

For weapons, I tried to avoid critical chance bonus because this is not my job as S/B to do damage. So, no [Fortress Labrys] and [Titan's Sword of Anathema].

Between [Fortress Cleaver] or [Sentry's Chaosaxe of Anathema], stats are pretty close. With the right amount of Futile Strike and Initiative, 1% reduction in being critically hit is not that much compare to 2% armor penetration reduction.

Thank you for your response. This makes sense indeed and I am leaning towards the same choices.

I just wanted to add that [Fortress Guard] and is a very close second to [Shieldbearer's Herald of Anathema] and that you cant go wrong with either one. So if you do not like scs, you arent gimping yourself much by taking the [Fortress Labrys] and
