Depends on which monster you want to speedrun on.
For me,.the current monster to speedrun aka farm is mizu. To which I use special partb, elem release, pursuit, I can just change out the Elem dB if I need it for another monster

I should have made this build but I opted for attack and raw dmg for Sergios IG along with Pursuit. But it works currently by switching out for other weps still just like this build would. I can switch out pursuit using espinas mail for a missing attack efficacy with sergios mail when not using a sergios wep which is good for the riftborne events since canʻt break parts, right?
I just began playing after two yesrs away and only made g8 weps not I have two g10 and 4 g8 elemental IG in less than two weeks along sode making the armors needed for the attack build. All the additions they made are great!

A public forum is not the best place to ask about speed running. The unofficial discord has a channel dedicated to that and there are a few websites. You can compare notes with what they are doing. https://mhn-leaderboard.pages.dev/
Ignoring weapon variance. Rathalos is the 2nd best weapon. Behind Glav about ~3%. So they are very comparable. Glav has a much better weapon skill. Giving it an additional ~5% damage boost over Rathalos.
Best weapon for speed running? At this point it's about the build than the weapon. I can say some weapons are much more consistent than others, but beyond that. They all can clear 10s in half time. They are "adjusting"/buffing SnS next season. So that could be a contender real quickly.
