well, speaking as an average guy when I go fighting with my friends (one of them went to the time and trouble to make a great deal of weapons and shields out of pvc pipe and foam rubber) I always do better with two weapons (unless using the pole-axe (aka Halberd) I just can't seem to get the hang of the shield, but using two weapons, ie mace and sword, or shortsword and long I typically "kill" them alot more than they get me (when they're using either 2weapons, or a shield and weapon)
using this as a basis were I to make a character on a similar note, I would do the same (ie dual wield all the time)
