An Eth based weapon, damage wise, it has already got bumped as a base damage increase.
One regular weapon that has 100 base damage, Eth base will have 150.
So the damage adds to the base value rather than a seperate modifier. Then the base damage will go through different modifiers and reflected on the final damage output.
To sum up, yes, whenever possible use ethereal stuff for your merc.
Can do trades on D2R or D2RotW
