I thought I'd give my take on what I personally would recommend for people starting out in early hardmode. As a middle ground this will be put in the perspective as someone playing in Expert Mode. This is no particular order, just what comes to mind first
S - Cursed Flames Book | Golden Shower | Dart Rifle | Sanguine Staff | Uzi | Clockwork Assault Rifle | Firecracker | Bananarang
A - Flying Knife | Dart Pistol | Daedalus Stormbow | CoolWhip | Nimbus Rod | Blade Staff | Meteor Staff | Dao of Pow | Onyx Blaster | Spider Staff
B - Crystal Storm | Poison Staff | Sky Fracture | Crystal Serpent | Shadowflame bow | Unholy Trident | Shotgun
C - Marrow | Beam Sword | Flower of Frost | Ice Staff | Spirit Flame | Pirate Staff | Crystal Vile Shard
D - Life Drain | any hardmode ore weapon | Jousting Lance
F - Pearlwood sword | Pearlwood shortsword | Arkhalis
Note: I likely missed like half of them but I don't know a lot of these weapons, especially melee as I have only ever played that class once which was back in 1.3.5 so yea
