Cadsuane. Who knows maybe her death will cause Rand and all of the Asha'man to burst out into laughter and tears of joy.
Joking aside, Rand didn't just lose his hand. His eyes are messed up and the wound in his side was still bleeding after Nynaeve healed him.
Also that is a bit of a false choice. Cadsuane and Nynaeve would still have their angreal and other ter'angreal if one of them had let Rand borrow their weave-breaker for this encounter. The main difference in the fight is that instead of Rand taking a dirt-nap, he could have been clubbing Semirhage over the head with the dragon scepter (assuming he wouldn't have managed to grab saidin).
I'd actually go so far to say that Cadsuane really should have flat out given Rand her weave-breaker. She expects to die any day now anyway, might as well spit in the dark one's soup before she goes. Cadsuane reminds me of the little old lady you see driving down the road occasionally. Not the one going 15 in a 40 zone, the one tearing down the street, passing people on the right, and running red lights because she has no fear of death.

The weave-breaker is overrated. Rahvin managed to easily kill Mat despite his ter'angreal and Alivia was seriously injured by Cyndane. Yes, it would have unravelled Semirhage's fireball, but if Rand can't deflect a simple bolt of fire, then he's got much bigger problems which range from the lowest darkfriend assassin to the Black Ajah - never mind the Forsaken themselves.

1. Maybe the ter'angreal only work for women. 2. Mat is a better person than any of them *NM*

I always assumed that the ter'angreal only worked with women, as well.

As far as Rand goes, I blame Min.
