Socketing hammerdin items?

I've had a hard time thinking about what to socket my soon to built hammerdins items with. I'm going to use wizardspike, hoz, low maras and low resist anni which easily gives me maxed resists so i have no need for socketing items with ums or resists jewels. Could anyone give me feedback on what they've socketed their stuff with?

Also instead of using the more popular upped viper i'm tossing up between using an upped que hagens or guardian angel since i've already maxed res. If i use a guardian angel i'll have to either sacrifice frostburns for magefists, or a bk/soj for a caster ring to hit the 75FCR breakpoint (70FCR already from wizzy+arach mesh). The 20FHR from either armour also lets me hit the 5 frame FHR break point with the 20FHR from sandstorm treks and 2 * 5FHR sc. I've been thinking about using a +2 valor with a -15req jewel to get the str req to 140 when i get to lvl 85. This means again i'll have to sacrifice a soj or bk ring for a caster ring or use magefists instead of frostburns. Anyone think using a valors a good idea considering the extra str needed to wear it? But firstly could someone tell me what a +2 valor is worth in runes on USWEST ladder cause i have no idea :lol: ?

Any feedback would be much appreciated, thanks.
