Isildur's curse is odd, because in teh Akallabeth, I believe, it says that the Valar cannot take away teh gift of Eru and grant immortality, so theoretically , only Eru himself could have enacted this curse, I think because of that it makes it the strongest of the three

but of the two curses originally discussed, the Doom on Mandos seems to be the strongest. It had its effects over a long period of time and slowly worked on the entirety of the Noldor to teach them humility.
