Number 1 is Frostner for sure. Good damage and the slowness effect is a game changer against big fuling groups.
I'd carry around 2 weapons, so the second should have either slash or pierce damage. Black metal sword and silver sword are what I would chose, but I've heard some people really like the atgeirs.

For early game, you don't really need anything aside from the axe for meadows and black forest. For swamps go with a mace, for mountains with pierce damage against golems and wolves. The Iron sledge can also be useful against big wolf groups.

Oh and obviously you should always carry a bow, but as there is little choice regarding what bow to use you can just use whatever is the best you can craft.
