I think mang is slightly more damage, but the reason why I recommend avoid, even though I don't personally make use of it like this, is because if you use a void, most variations can hit 125 if they swap teleport

I'm using a +4 ondals with a meph book as swap to (pre) buff.

I do have 2 daggers I could make a void in, a +2 Hex:Bane +2 Hex:Purge one and a +3 consume one.

Any idea which would be better or should I just keep using Ondalls?

you say in your guide: Every 10 minutes or so, I refresh the BC/BO, then cast/consume one Defiler, then refresh the hex. -> do you swap to your buff gear everytime or doesn't it matter?

You'll never get the +2 hex: bane one to roll 3 sockets unfortunately, but the consume one is the one I'd use. I think perfect would be +3 consume +3 defiler.

I've been using bowlock since warlock came out and have tested out many different variations to figure out the strongest possible optimizations. I firmly believe this is it (in my video above) and can defend each gear choice if anyone wishes to challenge it. I also have a few videos showcasing the clearspeed of the build, outside of just a quick p8 chaos demonstration in this video.

Interesting! Thank you for sharing.

How about Buriza-do, Faith and Insight bow? I think Insight bow is one of the most budget friendly weapons for bowlock.
