a character wielding two weapons one with reach one without (say a longspear and spiked gauntlets/armor) will get an attack of opportunity if charged as the opponent leaves the square threatened by the longspear

simple question .. which weapon gets the attack of opportunity ?

EDIT: I must be tripping on something; I swear I saw "trident" instead of longspear.

Only the longspear threatens the square 10 feet away, so you must certainly use it to make your AoO. If the opponent were adjacent to you, you would need to use the armor spikes for any AoOs.

I wouldn't let you threaten with both a longspear and spiked gauntlets at the same time, myself. (Since you need a hand free to use the gauntlet.)
