best weapon for Shadowheart is a dagger and shield... that lets her use dex to hit and tank for you which is the roll Clerics are designed for
a spear is a good option if you or the gith are in front with a shield because she can then stand behind you and still reach the target... there is a very good spear for fighting things with many eyes like a big spider or beholder so its worth giving her that spear for those fights even if she is taking the tank roll
another good option for Shadowheart with a Tav that tanks is to give her a dagger + dagger [swap the off hand dagger for club of str later] and let her just swing away but this limits her heals as she normally uses at least a bonus action to do that
range weapons = her firebolt is better than any other weapon you could give her anyway... this spell is Intel based, does fire damage [dur] and doesn't use any spell slots to cast, it was only added a little while ago so older guides will not have it
personally i like a dual weapon Bard so my Shadowheart will be the parties shield-maiden
