I don't think of either weapon as particularly "piratey." But then, they have a (not-very-piratey) short sword also in the game, under the moniker "dagger." There are also "grenades" which don't have any historic excuse for being in the game at all. The undead themselves, don't exist outside of the game and the movies...pretty weird. Accepting those lapses...
Staff or doll? Staff has wither - pretty fantastic for gameplay. Wither (*) and sweep (cutlass) are the only magical attacks that get every enemy nearby. (Attempting that sort of a sweep with a real cutlass is a ******* move that only annoys attackers, by the way.) On the other hand, the voodoo doll has life-drain - also pretty fantastic for gameplay.
Wither has saved my pirate much more often than life-drain. But every time wither did fall short, it was always life-drain that saved him a trip to jail. So, doll wins, overall. :-(
(*) Yes, I'm ignoring desolation. It is for show, only. And very, very silly.
