A lot of ranged weapons fit the bill here, since I almost always have party members that I want to keep out of the fray, but a few melee weapons (such as Carsomyr) are worthwhile as well. There are a lot of good Bows in the game, so this style sees a lot of use with me.
But you get no bonus for two handed weapon style until you put the bow down and pick up your melee weapon. A character who will be primarily using a bow shouldn't put anything into two weapon style until he has 5 stars in the bow and two in the melee weapon of choice. If you have character that you REALLY want to keep out of the fray they are better off with a shield. If they can't use a shield single weapon style is slightly better than two handed weapon style - these character probably need a critical to hit, so single weapon could be doubling your hit chances, and who really cares about what weapon speed your mage has?
