Scalpels seemed to work best, but they need constant attention to avoid wandering into a shieldball and to avoid Rogue fire, and you really can't spare that level of attention for the time needed to wear the ball down in 1v1. Particularly as Scalpel DPS for cost is poor and it's only barely faster than a Thug, meaning if a shieldball runs away you're screwed (you HAVE to dodge the Rogue shots or you die) as you can't catch and kill, so it'll just come back later.

Sandbox testing has Mace, Halberd and Claymore losing horribly (Bolas, oddly enough, worked better than those three, though still die).

Lance might work, but the low DPS, no shield penetration and shieldball shield layering makes it way less effective than against most other factories. A single lance can't do much to a shieldball (a Lance will take about a minute to start inflicting casualties on its cost worth of thugs, that's a long time for the shieldball to run or push, and the constant micro makes it tricky to keep the Lances alive)
