How do you most effectively build Jaheira?

I'm looking at a 4 person party (my sorcerer, Jaheira, Minsc, thief, probably Imoen).

Minsc is easy with greatsword. Thief will use a bow.

Jaheira I'm stuck between cheesing a scimitar from everybody's favorite Drow, the Dagger of Venom, and a staff-mace +2.

I'm game to hear other ideas!
