The fact there are no Earth-element spells available to the cast makes me appreciate the Cypress Pole and the Stone Arrows in battle. But even those rate low on my scale compared to the other available options.

I've never been much of a fan of the zodiac spear. As powerful as it is, the game is made pretty trivial as a result of wielding it...at least as far as the main storyline bosses are concerned. In regards to my favourite kind of weapon, though, I'd have to go with the rather cliché answer of...swords. Most notably if they're the 'knightly' kind - such weapons appeal to me quite a lot!
Mythril Blade, Iron Sword, Bastard Sword, Deathbringer, Diamond Sword... pretty, pretty, pretty.
Swords do have a lot of cool designs, but alas poles which always be my favorite... forever and ever and ever
Eyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Katanas.
The first time I played I gave Vaan a katana once he got that far on the license board. It was pretty humorous to see a brat like him swing a huge Japanese sword around.
Xenogears is the tragic story of how your whole life can take a crappy turn, just because you happened to see a lady in a wedding dress before her wedding.
This boy is crackin' up, this boy has broken down

All of the Katana look alike. All of the Ninja Swords look alike. Saddened. The only "noticeable" differences are on the hilts which are covered up by the user's hand anyway.
Design wise I've always liked:
Flametongue
Durandal
Morningstar
Doom Mace
Euclid's Sextant
Tournesol
Masamune
Orochi
Dragon Whisker
Gungnir
Rod of Faith
Wizard's Staff
Perseus Bow
Artemis Bow
Aldebaran
In answer to the OP's question, I really like using axes and maces, and I love equiping Penelo with a big arse measure on account of how cute she looks.
One-handed swords all the way. They are powerful, quick and you can equip a shield to raise your defense. What's not to love?
