In a bit of a predicament, which weapon should I make my faith weapon, as of now I have a divine claymore which is rather good, but I'm sure there are more options, so any pointers?

Claymore's are to heavy/STR reliant to be a good Faith build weapon. A Scythe would be a much better choice, if you're looking for a hard-hitting, long range and rather fast weapon. Divine Scythe +10 is bad-ass. Also try looking into a Murakumo, though that will require 28 of Str to wield in one hand.

@Luvtospooge - The magic blacksmith is the one in New Londo. The blacksmith you're missing is near the second bonfire (the hidden behind a illusory wall). From that bonfire, head to the bridge in that path, down to the bottom part of the stairway after the door on that bridge and you'll see that the stairway is broken, though you can see some ledges at the bottom. Roll down to that and keep rolling down to any visible ledge. You'll appear at the top of a broken tunnel, fall down to it and you'll see a cutscene with a weird looking skeleton. That's the blacksmith. 

He ascends weapons to Fire and Chaos.

A murakamo you say? 28 str seems like too much of an investment though.. maybe the great scythe?

Great Scythes aren't that good outside PVP, mostly because they have much lower damage than a Scythe and the bleed effect is null on most enemies.
