Arga[1] is a broad axe, one of the most versatile if not powerful one-handers, with the speed brand, the most powerful and consistent brand against any creature, except for holy wrath against evil. Its quick delay and +8 enchant also make it very easy to train up. Suffice to say, Arga is an incredibly powerful artefact weapon that can easily define a run, viable to swap to even in the later portions of the midgame. The willpower boost is just a cherry on top.
While a weapon with holy wrath might be stronger in the extended part of the game, Arga is still useful for anything unaffected by it, or if you're undead/demonic and unable to wield weapons of holy wrath.
