Goblin Queen (She/Her/Hers)
Simple physics dictate that the spear is pretty much always going to be the worse one to be poked with. Same amount of kinetic energy concentrated on a smaller surface area means more trauma. That said, a good poke with a blunt stick could still seriously injure or even kill. 5e’s weapon mechanics aren’t really granular enough to model the difference well. Unless you’re fighting skeletons, in which case go for the stick.
