Yes those are excellent options. Damage is always good!

And Ring of Frost (another +2 melee damage if not immune to frost) instead of ring of protection +1. I realize that every + to AC makes a difference, but an attack against AC is a 1 in 10 chance if you have a full party. The +2 damage is there every time you hit.

I thought about this with my barbarian and decided to go with the +1 to hit with the Gauntlets of Ogre Power. My final thought was if I can't hit, it doesn't matter how high my damage is.
