Eclaium is right. All of the sword trinkets are good, but you need to coordinate them with your armor/shield bonuses and your UVs. My general advice is to get Vog Cub, Skolver, and Snarbolax armors, and ASI and damage trinkets, and Barbarous Thorn Shield (and maybe other shields). By coordinating these, you can always have a lot of ASI and damage bonus. All that's missing is CTR. Get CTR through UVs on your swords.

You also need to think about your play style. Do you charge your sword a lot? Then maybe get CTR. Are you having trouble interrupting monsters before they hit you? Then maybe get ASI.

Damage bonuses are idiosyncratic, in that they may or may not decrease your strokes-per-kill. I mean, if you take 4 strokes to kill a zombie, with or without damage bonus, then it has not helped. But if your strokes-to-kill drops to 3, then it has helped a lot. Unfortunately, it depends on the depth, the monsters, how many people are in the party, how much damage they're doing to the monsters, etc.

Well if you use your Vog cub then all your swords will have asi:vh anywyas (and your DA max) so asi trinkies probably won't do much for you. Damage would likely be better for you, or CTR if you find yourself charge-spamming~

Another option is to have one damage trinky and one bomb focus, with your vog and BTS, so your swords are vh:vh and you have a max ctr shiver for anything you need CC for~

think I'll consider CTR for my trinks

That's a good choice in the short term, if you charge your swords a lot. It's not as good in the long term, if you plan to acquire all sworder armors, for the reasons outlined above.
