from a pure utility perspective, dual wield. there are many weapons that work great in concert w/ each other and you have the option to use a shield if you are getting rocked.
for example.
celestial fury with an offhand belm or kundane, gives 2 extra attacks one w/ the fury and one with off hand weapon. (scarlet ninja-to, for high level th)
or the use of weapons w/ cool special abilities, say resistance to level drain or a strength increase.
there are some great two handers in soa but not really outshine some of the high end one handed weapons: (not quite as heavily enchanted + wise but very powerfull nonetheless.)
the fury, flail of ages, day star, the drinker, belm, kundane, scarlet ninja-to.
or the crom, blackrazor, couple of good maces too...
i have not done a study of the improved chances of critical hits of the two handed weapon style, but imo the fact that you could not use a shield and the pure killing power of both FoA & the fury were much better than any of the two-handers (holy avenger, prob the the only exception)
from a looks standpoint a berzerker looks much more intimidating w/ one really big weapon than two smaller ones but that's just a cosmetic thing...
