For socketing, you get 1 or 2 sockets at random (I think that's how it works), unless the base item type only allows 1. The difficulty you socket in does not matter for the amount of sockets you get. For which item would be the most powerful, we would need to know more about your gear. How much IAS you have, for instance. And what skills will you be using?
