For fighters, rangers, and barbarians I'd say dual-wield. For Paladins, I'd say two-handed for Carsomyr (duh). Any combination of cleric or druid, I'd use a shield (if they can use one). For Rogues, I'd go single weapon style (except Swashbucklers and Blades).

In BG2, they added better equipped abilities to many of the weapons, and forgot about the shields. The only three shields that are worth having are the Shield of Harmony +2 (immune to charm, confusion, domination, and hold), the Shield of Balduran (reflects beholder rays), and the Dragon Shield (25% resist fire, lighting, and cold). The Sentinal gives a great AC bonus, but doesn't have any other effects. I would've rather it been +3 with some other resistance.
