I prefer Maces/Clubs after my last play through, so with that in mind:
1. Porcupine
2. Frostner
3. Iron Sledge because of the utility it offers.
With enough skill in Clubs, the Iron Sledge allows you to one-shot Wolves, so the "Hunted" event is MUCH less of a nuisance. The Atgeir's AoE probably also allows for the same thing, especially since it has availability in Black Metal, but I've not used them nearly enough to know.
You can also use the Iron Sledge (and Stagbreaker) to obtain Silver Ore early, unless this was patched out. There's huge risk involved in doing so, considering how dangerous the Mountain biome is at the time (especially if you go with Stagbreaker instead), but all it takes is one or two Silver nodes and you can make the Wolf set and/or Frostner way earlier than intended.
The downside to doing so, though, is that it will make Bonemass hilariously easy, and the rest of your Mountain adventure mostly easy also.. until you encounter Stone Golems, anyway.
