Weapon choice for quality playhrough: Golden Lie or Proof of Humanity?
For NG+, I have hit the softcap for adding technique pretty hard, making me want to spec out of my tech-heavy Etiquette build and into something motivity/technique instead.

I have both the Golden Lie and Proof of Humanity, but only materials enough to upgrade one of them. Which one should I go for? Which is more fun and/or effective?

Golden Lie is a gimmick weapon that scales with your humanity, meaning that it's only good right at the end of your playthrough. I would go for the Seven-Coil Spring Sword instead, or the Trident of the Covenant, if you have them. Proof of Humanity isn't bad per se, just underwhelming for the final boss' weapon.

Use whatever you want, all weapons become quality in the end anyway.

Even Two Dragons and Noblesse Oblige?

Yup, the way scaling works, you hit the caps pretty fast.

One a new run, a single stat will be better, but once you hit the caps, it is better to start leveling the other stat.

Proof of Humanity has good scaling, greater attack speed (which can be combined with combo-damage gear), and it's a trick weapon.
Golden Lie makes you feel sad about all the lies you've told.

My third playthrough was using the Golden Lie to run around and beat normal mobs and the Uroboross Eye to bring down bosses.

The damage output of the Golden Lie is not the best but its moveset is one of the coolest in the game in my opinion.
Also, you hit very fast with it so you have to consider that sometimes you're hitting twice as fast.

Golden Lie's length increases based on the number of lies told. So, it's noticeably shorter at the start of a playthrough.

Proof of Humanity is one of 3 weapons with Critical Damage, which can be paired with the Assassin's Amulet to increase the Critical Chance further.
