Then again, if I went with a different polearm that replaces that side spike with an axe head, I basically get all 3.

There's a lot of heavy swords out there, and light hammers and axes

IRL, yeah, but I imagine most people are going off games.

And games tend to follow the Skyrim-esque "sword>axe>blunt" speed paradigm.

sword: cannot beat plate armor without weird techniques
axe: cannot beat plate armor without weird techniques
hammer: works on everything. goes bonk. polehammers didn't have a range problem. literally perfect

anyway the correct answer is spears

No context, though I'll assume video game context, I'd go with axe. With context, such as 'fantasy RPG' then it is sword, always sword, and usually one that goes to a Paladin(whom you'd never want in the party aside from them getting exclusive access to that one sword). If it is a survival crafting game, then hammer becomes a much bigger deal.

Of the 3, I think axes are the coolest (though I used to like swords the most).

That said, I like halberds and glaives more than all 3.

Swords are a status symbol and not necessarily a weapon you would want to depend on as an untrained novice. Hammers are a safe bet.

half-sword and mordhau techniques look so goofy it's hard to believe they're an actual aspect of the longsword meta

Gamers seem to need a lot of swords. This has always been one of the most amazing things to me. I have no swords. We're all human beings; what is the story? I've never had one. I've never bought one. I've never needed one. I've never been in a situation where I thought to myself "I could use a sword right now. I could certainly get out of this mess."

axe because of versatility. Not only do you hit people with the axe, you can also chop wood, break barricades, provide anchor points while climbing, etc (depending on type of axe)
