It should be the best damage-helping option, because that's all two-handers are good for. But I don't know the exact math; the other damage-boosting styles are pretty pitiful, especially TWF, except for Archery which is amazing.   Unrelated point: how did you get Sneak Attack and GWF on the same attack?

It would require GWF with a weapon that has both the Finesse property and was either two-handed or versatile.   Doing the research, Sun Blade and Moon Blade. How cute is that!   Anyway, attack a surprised opponent (auto-crit from assassin), Smite (paladin, maybe using Pact Magic slot), Sneak Attack (rogue ability, you have advantage on any attack before that creature's first turn), every single die is rolled twice, and any 1 or 2 is rerolled!   Since Sun Blades do radiant damage, you're not going to come up against anything that can Resist or is immune, unless you are fighting Angels. And why would you fight Angels?

GWF only rerolls 1s and 2s from the damage die of a melee attack. I do agree that Savage Attacker could reroll all of the damage twice over, and compare them, and take the best one. I can even consider Sneak Attack die being part of an attack, because they are rolled at once. But I don't believe Divine Smite is 'part of a weapon's attack' since you only determine if you are smiting after the attack occurs. Divine Smite says you can only use it when you hit with a melee weapon attack, and you deal radiant damage in addition to the weapon's damage. Clearly something in addition to the weapon's damage is NOT weapon damage.
