Axes are all pretty slow in this game. I don't think anyone has listed Axe in any of the Fave Weapons threads i've seen. Any weapon that has a minus to Initiative will get you fewer swings.

I almost always use two weapons, usually sword and mace (hammer early, really nice one later) or sword and dagger. But that's in small parties, where you need more swings, so if i had front and back row, i'd have mostly sword/shield, maybe a martial arts or mace/sheild in front, and polearms or staves in the back (or Ranged weapons).
Though Fighters, Lords, and Samurais have skill bonuses which help make using two weapons worthwhile.
I've had marvellous results with Ninjas dual-wielding Nunchake, Antone has those, too...
