Fists (With Vanq.s Seal) Or Caestuses
(This one will not be in the exact same format as the vanquishers seal doesn't really have stats)
Caestus:
Requirements: 10 str, 7 dex
Weight: 0.5 units
Poise damage: 15
Counter Strength: 130
Base damage at max upgrade: 90 physical
Scaling at max upgrade: A in str, A in dex
Notes: Standard fist weapon
My opinion: The vanquishers seal is better. Pretty blunt, but the numbers back it up.
On my 40/40 quality build, the Caestus has an AR of 272, whereas the vanquishers seal fists have an AR of 340. They have the exact same moveset. Caestus weigh 0.5 each, meaning 1 unit for both of them, whereas the vanquishers seal weighs 0.2 units only.
It's rare for me to really say this, but the vanquishers seal is simply better than dual caestus. The only upside to the caestus is if you want to keep a ring slot open, though that's not much of a big deal, in my opinion.
