I would be inclined to say latter is more correct, however, two-handing the weapon doesn't "double" the damage, it only adds maybe only 50 at most, and this value diminishes as you level up more.

Besides, when two-handing to use a weapon effectively, you're only going to deal close to the one-handed damage, as you can only use it with two hands, due to your insufficient strength.
