Choice 1 is definitely more deathful

However, since Demos has never heroed a warrior the felar spear/h2h combo is much much easier and still quite serviceable in the hero range. Even though daggers aren't heavy you're saving yourself a bit of added weight which is key for a felar. Plus getting to hero with dagger as your first spec is probably pretty difficult for someone who is relatively new to the warrior class and with more solo ranking with the mud that is common these days.
