It depends on the character. Both the weapon finesse and the two weapon fighting feats benifit from tiny weapons. Also the roleplaying aspect of playing a charcters can also be an issue. Theives tends to like daggers because they are smaller and easier to conceal than a sword.

A dual welding ranger/thief with the weapon finesse feat and a killer dex is one of my favorite characters. He uses a dagger/shortsword combo and has become quite deadly becasue he sneaks around alot and gets alot of attacks.

What about the ninja character as far as shurikens goes... I made a rogue character loosley based on the ninja type character who uses shurikens. Sure a short bow does more damage than a shuriken, but I love the whole idea of whipping out a few throwwing stars to slow down a charging foe before engaging in melee. I guess its all in the imagination...
