Hmmmm...

We be talking about a Dwarf here. Weapon choice based on roleplaying depends on how stereotypical you want to be.

Katanas, naaaah... ...
Daggers, no Dwarf worth his salt will be caught dead using this as a main weapon.
Quarterstaff, yah, maybe if he wants to pole-vault or something.
Long Sword, not really a typical Dwarven weapon, but they do use it.
Short Sword, makes more sense.
Clubs, if it is a big mean club, yeah, sure.
Scimitar, Hell no.

For a Fighter/Thief, I would personally choose to Dualwield. The additional ApR vastly makes up for the loss of Grandmastery. I would select Short Swords and Two Weapon Style for my initial weapon proficiencies. Clubs would be next for the blunt damage, followed by Long Swords. Crossbows last for range.
