At 40/40/26 they have equal attack rating. Just different distribution of physical/elemental damage. OFC if you were going for faith you could get to 30 and use Sunlight Blade. Not saying that's the best way to go, but just as a comparison with DSS.

When going down the lightning path I think halberds are worth looking at since they're similar to spears, and they're attack rating is ~100 higher than spear. Gargoyle's halberd is a beast at 574 AR (split evenly between physical and elemental). And you don't have to worry about raising dex and/str too high since it doesn't scale.
