Hitters or swingers should determine what feels best for them and produces the best launch angle and spin rate. Just because you are a hitter does not mean that you necessarily need heavier or stiffer.

Another misconception is swingweight. You can make any club any swingweight you want. In fact, many hitters I have fit prefer the weight in the handle (balanced certified) or the shaft more than in the head. Because hitters should be more deliberate in startdown pushing the primary lever, heavier sometimes is better, but not necessarily in the head.

Also, when you put weight in the hosel you change the center of gravity dramatically. In fact I have never heard of weighting the hosel as a good thing.

I can help you find a qualified fitter in your area who can help YOU find the right club for YOU. Let me know where you live.

For a Hitter, then, would a (dare I say) stiff butt (cut it out) shaft to drive against be better than a soft butt with a stiff tipped shaft? (everyone go to their room- right now).

Golfsmith was the first to add weight to the hosel that I know of as a cheap way to offer head weight changes. Wishon does the same thing and knows his stuff.
