Re: lantern shield
In general, if you're trying to kill another supercombatant, we're going to assume that you're strong enough to hurt him right through his high protection value, but that you may not be guaranteed to hit him.
In that case, your best bet is two swords of swiftness - making more attacks makes you more likely to hit with each attack (there's a defense penalty after the first attack), and raises the damage you expect to do.
The Wave Breaker is a sort of happy medium - you get 3 attacks (vs 2 with two weapons) but better attack skill and more damage than with swords of swiftness.
If, at the other extreme, you're sure you'll hit but not sure you can do damage, consider: dusk dagger, axe of sharpness (it's cheap), fire brand.
Also consider the Flambeau (if the enemy SC is a demon or undead) or the Moon Blade (if a magic being.)
