More likely the hand, since you would want some sort of contact during
combat. Maybe something looking along the lines of Michael Moorcock's
Eternal Champion..what was his name? I can;t think of it right now, the
one with the hand and the eye. (Not Elric, or Hawkmoon). Corum or
something like that I think.

That hand would scream magic too probably, I can see it now somestreet
shaman directing his fellow gangers to get your hand.

It would probably be cheaper and easier to make some sort of glove/spike
combo, these are an actual weapon as well.

This leads to an interesting idea? What is the state of magical
prosthetics in SR? If a mage were to lose a hand, could a "magic"
replacement be made? Some sort of foci that would function as a regular
hand to a degree maybe with some added bang for the buck?
