Okay so, on the side i play a skyblock server so i have my sky grinder, well i need opinions on the best way to kill them, from hand, sword, to potions, because potions should be the best choice but, damage II heals skeletons and zombies, and health II heals creepers and spiders. Suggestions and opinions would be lovely.
You don't specifically mention it, but I assume you want XP?
Well i do get xp, and i do have a 2x3 tube made of obsidian (to prevent outbreaks if creepers explode) but i just lust for a easier way to kill them more quickly then punch/slashing, the closest i get is potions but i have to use about 2 of each health and damage to kill them
and it is somewhat resource heavy because of the sand needed.
It would be relatively simple to make something that will be able to switch between all 3. Just a sticky piston under the drop to control the drop height (I'm assuming you have a server shop because you have potions). And also, for potions, you can just throw a instant damage a couple of blocks away so it just slightly increases their health, then throw an instant damage potion right into the mobs. They should all die.

The only selling on the server is an auction system only way to get redstone would to by luck get a zombi villager healed that gives red stone.

This suggestion is pretty good.
The only other alternatives I can think of is to make a separator system to separate the zombies and skeletons from the creepers and spiders or to have a two stage drop.
If you're going for xp, test the mob grinder drop till you reach 1/2 a heart left after a fall, then just leave a hole in the drop tube so you can see the mob's feet. Then you should be able to just one-hit punch them without them being able to attack you. This is generally how I set up my mob grinders on Skyblock and it works quite well.
Players and mobs die at the height of 24. Make the mobs go up a water elevator that's 23 blocks high then make them plummet. They should have 1/2 a heart left so punching them should be alright.
For just mob drops, I'd suggest a 30+ block fall that kills everything, but for XP, if you're good at redstone timing, you could create a crusher that suffocates them for just long enough for them to be 1-2 hit kills with your fist. Maybe if you post screenshots of your current set-up, we could give better advice.

I tried it with terrible results. I gave my wife my glasses for a second, a creeper showed up and now my wife is pregnant.
Stupid 3D..
