I'd rate axes as one of the best weapon choices for the game for high str characters- perhaps followed closely by two handed swords

I played a halfling barbarian x/Stormlord 4x that used hammers for both ranged and melee work and he did fine with them for the most part.

The thing is the way the weapon profs work if you are playing any sort of warrior (or even have a single level in a warrior class they get proficiencies in almost all weapons automatically so even if your "chosen" weapon is a little behind the curve for a while theres nothing stopping you from using whatever is available until you find a better one in your chosen one.
