Not to be left out of the picture:

Wont' you be missing one of these bonuses if you export the "final save" to ToB?

And to answer the question:
If you export your final-save character, you won't have any bonuses at all. Simply because that save is made when you arrive in Hell, before you do any of the quests.

Regarding those posts on AC-10 being enough....

THAC0 means "To Hit AC 0", in case you didnt know.

Therefore a creature with a THACO of 10 hits AC0 when they roll a 10, and hits AC-10 on a roll of 20.

A creature with a THACO of 5 hits a AC0 when rolling a 5, and AC-10 on a 15.

With a THACO of 0, a 10 is all thats needed to hit AC-10.

Its not that hard to hit AC-10 (when high level creatures are involved). I read a post where someone tested the system and determined that AC is maxed out at -20. This is what you should be aiming for.

I have gotten to ac-24. Someone said ac-26. Mordenkainens sword has ac-20. Doesn't really matter since they are immune to weapon damage.

Well they found it didnt count past -20. Someone else looked into the code and verified it. Seemed to all make sense so I believe it anyways.

Right...don't remember the thread, but it's in here somewhere. To clarify, it actually not AC -20, but EFFECTIVE AC -20. So, you take your AC then look at the modifiers based on the attack form. Any total below -20 is counted as -20.
