My PERSONAL ranking of all the Gauntlets, from worst to best:

(Gauntlets/Fist Weapons, I can't say I really like 'em. they're just better than Whips for me, nothing more. you can't wield Gauntlets with 2 hands, that means less damage, but above all, that means way less moves in the movest. the best you can do with Gauntlets is cosplaying, since almost all of them are really good for that... oh, and I won't put the character's own fists in this ranking, because I don't really consider them a "real" or "proper" weapon. well then, speaking of nor "real" or "proper" weapon, let's start with...)

4-Dark Hand

(this can't be considered a real weapon. it's just a really, really useful tool for obtaining liquid humanity from NPCs. then, if you're daring, AND LUCKY, enough, you could obtain some from other players in PvP... but as an actual weapon, or even if used as a "shield", it just sucks)

3-Dragon Bone Fist

(like I said, number 4 isn't a "real" weapon imo. that's the only reason why this shitty number 3 is not in last place. this weapon is way too fucking heavy for the little damage it offers. also, you need a fuckload of time and souls to bring it at +5, and even then, the damage is ridiculous. at least it's buffable, but so are the other 2 Gauntlets, and finally, the R2 is pretty scenic indeed, it's basically the "Shoryuken" from SF, but it's still useless to use nonetheless)

2-Caestus

(fast, but short range, low damage, but at least it's of the strike kind, which is usually the best kind of damage in PvE... but even as number 2, this weapon is quite bad overall. you could still cosplay as that boxing guy from Spartacus, though.)

1-Claw

(i love bleeding. and wow, for once a bleeding weapon is also the most powerful weapon of its kind, thanks to the scaling + the basic damage... and the reach is not so bad... but still, Gauntlet weapon. no two-handed, not good enough. with 2 of this you can cosplay as Vega/Balrog also from SF, but too bad there aren't good armors to complete the cosplay... same thing for the "Shoryuken" from number 3, no good armor for a complete cosplay...)
