Arced War Axe is clearly better due to stats/speed. Intellect and spirit are not stats used by ret paladins. Strength is the primary stat for that spec. The higher DPS on the quest reward does not compensate for the lack of str.
Also,
Reef Axe
drops in BFD and is roughly equal to Arced War Axe (superior without kings, about equal with kings). However, while questing, kings isn't your best option, so Reef Axe is slightly better for solo leveling than Arced War Axe.

Thank you, Naxxos. :)
Anyway, since we're on the subject, does it matter if I complete the quest, or not?
not really.. you miss out on some XP, and that weapon, but that's about it.. no other required spells or abilities involved with the quest line.

Man up and solo the damn thing.

I've recently rolled a paladin, whom will eventually be a Retribution paladin. With that being said, I've started on a quest that will eventually reward me with
Veridan's Fist
; however, in SFK,
Arced War Axe
drops. Now my question is which weapon would be better for a Retribution paladin?
Veridan's Fist
>>>>
Arced War Axe
10 measly strength does not make up for 3.9 weapon DPS. Especialy at lower levels. The speed is irrelevant. The reef axe is compatible to the Arced. You would need 24 strength or 55 AP on those weapons to be compatible to the mace.
Clearly.

Also, anything that means less drinking is nice for ret paladins at those levels.

I read some Paladin FAQs, and it said that Retribution paladins should weild a two-handed weapon, that's really slow, with high, top-end damage. With that being said,
Thermaplugg's Left Arm
isn't as good as
Corpsemaker
, correct? However, I could be wrong, so please correct me if I am.
This is why it's important to think about what you're doing, and not just blindly do what people tell you to do. Slow weapon advantage applies primarily to L50 and up. But even then, you haven't done anything to check whether the speed difference makes up for the DPS difference.
