Greatsword:
*Damage: 2d6
*Critical: 19-20/x2
*Weight: 15

Greataxe:
*Damage: 1d12
*Critical: x3
*Weight: 20

As you can see a greatsword does between 2-12 points of damage while a greataxe does 1-12. You have a greater chance of scoring a critical hit with a GS but you do more damage on one if you use a GA. The weight should be negligible. Also noteworthy on the weapons I compared is that the GA costed 54g while the GS costed 137g, more than twice as much.

This choice all boils down to what you yourself want to use and the availability of magical varieties of these weapons.
