The Reinforced Club, if you are curious as to why, read below (or scroll to (3.) for the short version):

If you had 99 in every stat and +5 Enchanted it would be the Great Club with a total damage of 823 (294 Physical/ 529 Magical/ 0 Fire/ 0 Lightning), however that would be an as inefficent choice as it is an unrealistic one.

Since the Magic/Enchanted path is only really useful to Sorcerers (aside from permanently killing those spooky, scary skeletons) Here are my assumptions about your build:

First, you started as a sorcerer and you aren't willing to level Str and Dex beyond 15 in both, you didn't put anything in Faith, you're planning to have around 45 Int in the late game (since that is the hard cap for Logan's Catalyst). Also you don't usally 2hand your weapon. Now let's see what's the best choice.

At 45 Int (so max presumed stats) is the Lucerne at 577 (208/369). You need 15 Str and 12 Dex for this weapon meaning from a sorcerer start you would need 7 lvl ups to handle it, it's past the second Necromancer in the Catacombs so it's accessible from the start of the game if you use speedrun tactics to get it. Very good choice if you are an expierienced player.

If you're a new player, you don't like how helb or you don't want to run through the catacombs at the start of the game, I would recommend you either of these three choices:

1. Winged Spear: Damage 449 (163/286), requires 13 Str and 15 Dex meaning 8 Lvls from sorcerer, avaiable from the start at the graveyard, but you will most likely die after getting it. Spend your souls beforehand and get all the other loot in the graveyard while you're at it. Very good defensivly, because you can attack while blocking with your shield.

2. Uchigatana: Damage 467 (170/293), requires 14 Str and 14 Dex meaning 8 Lvls from sorcerer,  you get it by killing the first Undead Merchant, cool moveset low durability. Probably the best of these four if you want some PvP.

3. Reinforced Club: Damage 484 (181/303), requires 12 Str meaning only 3 Lvls from sorcerer, avaiable from the first Undead Merchant for 350 souls. Dirtcheap, avaibale very early, high base damage, high stagger and even added bleed effect. Don't know what to choose? Use this one, unless you really hate it's moveset! You simply get the most out of it for the tiny investment you have to make, which means you can start investing in Intellegence and Attunement very early.
