from the looks of it, items that require more than one upgrade are the best, not only you get more fights, but also the final upgrade(if doable) usually yields way more experience.
it also has to do with item-level, i remember trying to upgrade something and a stack of 27 arch devils jumped over and i was like "whaaaaaat?"
and the upgrading fight can be really really hard, the battle I am still trying to beat, the gremlin towers themselves have 14000 health...
now, who has the patience to save/scan for a new save, where
1, troll/resurrection scroll is available.
2, ancient knowledge scroll is available (repeatedly loading/digging for an ancient knowledge scroll is simply not practical).
3, 15+ish suppression fights. you need the baton(3)/2 weapons(4)/bronze ring(2)/and around 5 one-upgrade items.
4, extra experience% items like hand of necropolis.
