Steel.  Iron is a poor choice for weapons when steel is available.  It's 
harder, but much more brittle.  For definitive rule documentation, I can only 
give you a couple circumstantial things though.  First is the creating magic 
items section which has the sentence, " When worked like steel, it [mithral] 
becomes a wonderful material from which to create armor and is occasionally 
used for other items as well."  Also there's the is the Major Creation spell.  
It compares the weight of mithral and adamantite to that of steel.
