Which one should I go for?

I'd also like to know why.

    G15 fists actually had a different set of unique procs. Claws had revenge/blood vengeance and fists had berserk/frenzied rage. That made them different enough to consider.

    G16 claws and fists both have the same set of add-ons. The unique is +40 and the 3 other add-ons are all the same chances. The only difference is fists have a narrow pool of damage, claws have a wide pool, they have the same average.

    Personally, I'd go with claws because I like spike damage. Claws aren't usually the choice for PvP but now that G16 are out they may pop back into the usuable range and for that a series of high end damage can annihilate a player. Fist damage would be more consistant but you won't get the spikes as you would.

    Bottom line, they're now basically the same thing except for looks.

    I have claws, a friend has fists, g16, +10. I got dex ads and int, friend has str, magic, int.

    Bottom line, who ever hits the boss firsts, keeps agro usually. Damage wise both seem similar. In tw, squishies can be killed in a stun with claws. Don't have fists, so can't say.

    Fists look pretty, claws are ugly.

    If you haven't made your g13 weapon yet, see what mold you get, and make that one.

    g16+10 = g13+10 sin, g15 +7~+10 (depending on how lazy the sin is). That is on a bm. Not sure how they do on barb.

    Keep in mind fists have a lower Dex requirement than claw while claw has a lower Str requirement. If you are stating minimum dex you would have more free stat points with the fists which you can put into str or vit.

    The difference is only about 5 though. At G16 they are still almost the same so go with whichever looks cooler to you.

    Everyone is saying claws are ugly but I really don't find them that bad.

    I do prefer the look of the fists but only by a bit, I don't even have enough badges, 2-3 more runs and I'll get them, I'm still hoping for a claw mold but if I do a bunch of runs and I don't get them I may just settle for the fists.

    G16 fists make me look sage. D:
    Those red ones [Dancess of Godess?] look way cooler.

    I personally always preffered fists for constant damage. I dont pvp much.

    Also, i made my G16 fists starting with Deicides. Those are claws, it doesnt make sense.

    Claws are usually preferred in a PvP standpoint as the higher range gives opportunity for higher spikes in crits. But as Asterelle mentioned, you'll have to stat more into dex that you could have put elsewhere.
