Hmmm....Depends...
If i saw that a area needed KD, id go hammer.
If i saw that a area had less melee, id go axe for spikes.
If i saw that a area was just idk, id go sword.

I like axes alot. Mostly because of Eviscerate and Body Blow now. I play Hammer a good bit in HA with Earthshaker but on target spikes the swing is a bit to slow, even with flail. But the KD's are awesome. Sword warrior is a ton of fun in solo'ing instances.

mostly swords for pvp, hammers sometimes.
axe is the king of pve, and easrtshaker is good in elite areas so the hammer aint bad. But over all the sword is most useful id say followed by the axe, and the hammer.

Most of the time I use axe(shock axe). Rather closely followed by hammer.
Don't really like sword tho..there's cripslash..but it just doesn't has the same feeling of power that both axe and hammer do have, imo.

For PVE Swords are the best option IMO

for PVP Axe's are better than swords imo

Hammer can be good in PVP, but i wouldent say there is much need for them in PVE

Hammers = Suck
Swords = O.K.
Axes = Pretty good except for the skills.

No, really - knockdowns are just too damn fun to pass up, PvE or PvP.

edit: lol @ above post
Even opinions can be wrong.

Sword and Axe, changes depending on my mood or build.

I have a few hammers but they rarely see the light of day....

IMHO:

Axes are there to spike.

Hammers are there to knockdown and disrupt by knocking down.

Swords are there to pressure with the exception of Godmode.

End of story.

Axes>Hammers>Swords

My swords barely see the light out of my xunlai storage box. I change between axes-hammers
regularly.

Axe>sword>hammer for me.

My hammers only see the daylight of guild wars when we need a hammer war for PvP.

Usually hammer, sometime axe, and rarely sword for both PvE and PvP. Only ran the godmode DS sword in PvE once, didn't like it.

D-Slashing is boooriiing in PvE.
Earthshaker is nice, backbreaker is epic when vanquishing areas with hard hitting bosses.
Eviscerate rarely sees play unless I'm PvPing; I usually run Cleave or Triple Chop depending on my mood.

For me, it would be Sword>Hammer>Axe in PvE, and Hammer>Sword>Axe in PvP.

In PvE, Dragon Slash is too good for me to pass up, closely followed by Earthshaker XD. As for PvP, I love Hamer knocklocks as well as running random elites with a Sword to see how well it works together.

To me, Axes just feel like the oddball weapon of Warriors >_<. I've tried Shock Axe and have had pretty good success with it, but I always feel that I can do better with a Hammer. The Bull's -> Shock -> Eviscerate -> Executioner's -> Disrupting Chop combo is nice, but Bull's -> Dev Hammer -> Crushing Blow ->Distracting Strike -> Hammer Bash -> Bull's is too satisfying for me to pass up XD.
