I'm Sorry, but I have to say this. I generally keep quiet about them but I'll bring them up.
4 point shurikens are the best throwing weapon. Far better than snowflakes. Add them to the vote. No this is not a joke.
They have the highest shoot speed causing the least drop and highest accuracy.  You ninjas need to see the light!
Use them with 10+ PT with some wpf, and you're enemies will be crying bloody tears, screaming OP as they get headshotted across the map with more accuracy, damage, and fire rate than archers. Assuming you have good aim and can predict. Basically, 4 point shurikens are the best throwing weapon as player skill rises; while javelins and less accurate/higher damage weapons are better when player skill is lower.

Highly skilled player? 4 Point shurikens.
For a moderately skilled player? Darts are the best.
For a person who takes time to aim a bit? Javelins.
Low skill? Jarids are the best. Only luck and a general direction needed for kills.

Best ones imo:

1. 4 point shuriken
2. dart
3. heavy axes (Anti cav measure)

In sieges I mainly use the shuriken and darts (lot's of medium/heavy armour for darts and when there's loads of archers I take the shuriken).

In battles mostly heavy axes to kill cavalry with and in town maps with few cav the ones I use in sieges.

Works like a charm.

Yeah that's where it goes wrong. Most ninjas dont go higher than 15 str. Not much a of a ninja when your top speed is half a mile per hour.

one shot lances are pretty op if you have <10 ps and <100 skill just because with all the tincan/33 str players on NA they're the only think that can really dish out damage and a bonus of being able to take down armored horses.  I think axes are the most fun though.

You might like stones, but they are by no means the best throwing weapon.

This is about the BEST weapon, not the one you like using
Oh I know, but I also find them to be best :D.

what throwing weapons ... are best compared to their price and ammo and stuff

The results of the "Which throwing weapon is best?" poll, will tell you which throwing weapon is most popular. And its not the same. One can predict poll results, after playing cRPG for a single weekend. :)
If one has 2-3 free skillpoints on lvl 31-32 ( as a 2h, cav, or whatever else ), then hell yeah! Axes are the best! On the other hand, a naked dedicated thrower will say Jarids or Lances, or even Wardarts.
I personally voted Javelins, since they have the best value/price, as a primary weapon. As a secondary weapon, my vote goes to Francisca. When hunger strikes my vassaled peasants, and plague takes toll on my herds - i use Wardarts. Shurikens and knifes are for the kitchen.

I think there are two weapons with significant advantages for declaring bestness.

Axes let you say "Let me axe you something..." kill someone and then say "Nevermind, you seem busy."

Throwing knives, on the other hand, let you follow every kill with "Knife to see you again!"

Puns are a huge part of being the best.

lol :P

I can't spoil all the throwing secrets but , I'm having a good laugh at what people say ;) Just quick tip, you choose the weapon based on your PT , not the damage it usually does. You're not sure ? Try with a buddy or ask on duel server to do damage check. You'd be surprised of the results ;)

I think it's a matter of feel and what you can track best through the air. Heavy axes, javelines, darts, and daggers are my favorite things to chuck. Darts have an awesome throwing rate, daggers are fun to chuck at archers, javelines are very accurate, and I can track heavy axes the best.
