I prefer dual-wielding rather than sword and shield style. As it has been said before, giving out more damage is better than having a bonus to AC (even +3 or whatever). And you can use the cool abilities of both blades at once. My berserker, wielding Daystar and Celestian Fury, was an ultimate bane to every monster he encountered, and still he had -9 AC, going to -11 while enraged. What is the use of a shield in such situation?

From the RP point of view, I would choose Two Handed Swords. My char had to look beatiful with that Sword Of Chaos. And I would hate him wielding a halbert. IMO, halberts are only for cityguards, and usable only to keep charging crowd at bay
