There is no difference whatsoever between KSOH and KSOS. Speed is actually a tiny bit better since it costs less to repair. Of course gold is irrelevant once you get to H/H.
Generally speaking, you want a KSOS/H or a KSOV for the "connoiseurs" of the "use the fewest pots" type of play. You can toss the rest.
Strange/Speed was also used in PVP against Ro's, but that is close to impossible to get and is only available at Wirt.
Now, if you played some mods, there *would* be a difference between haste and speed as that bug was fixed in a number of mods, and does make a noticable difference. Personally, I recommend VK and their later version VK ME (middle earth) mod. Yes, it is for D1 not D2. Solo is difficult though.
BTW, out of all the swords mentioned, all are good enough for H/H.... except Doombringer which is unusable due to it's poor ToHit% and Master's requires some help from other items to be usable.
