Nex help with hex build

I'm running a hex build with 40 INT and 40 FTH. My main weapons are a Dark Ice Rapier +5 (Dark infused) and a Lightning Crypt Blacksword +5.

I mainly use the Ice Rapier for regular enemies and PvP/invasions, while the Crypt Blacksword is my boss weapon. I've noticed that a lot of hex builds seem to use Lightning infusion even on weapons that could be Dark infused, so I'm wondering:

For a hex build, is Dark or Lightning infusion generally better for my main weapon?

Current setup:

- Dark Ice Rapier +5

- Lightning Crypt Blacksword +5

- Clear Bluestone Ring +2

- Dark Clutch Ring

- Chloranthy Ring +2

- Old Leo Ring

- Lion Mage set

- Crown of the Old Iron King for spell regeneration

Would you keep these infusions as they are, or change either weapon to Dark/Lightning? Also, if there's anything else I could improve in my build, I'd appreciate the advice.
