Guild Hall, Vent, Guesting, PvE, or the occasional HA match...

depending on the build, each has their advanages and disadvantages. its all about personal preference.

vote axe.
I agree with Yichi that in PvE it is all about preferences.
But my preference would be axe then

It doesn't matter which, neither one does much damage. Be a good warrior and bring some stances to help the monks out. Bring a good curses necro and a good mesmer along to do the real damage. "L33t echo nukers" need not apply.

With an IGN like mine - Just Axe Me - how could it be anything but -- Axe.

Seriously I agree with earlier poster who said sword for tanking and axe for interrupt (along with a little greater damage than sword in my opinion ... but that part is debatable).
