After playing this game for almost a year and pretty much playing warrior using all weapons I can tell u with 100% garauntee that they are the same.
Also you can test this for yourself in the training arena.

Strength only give armour penetration when using skills, whereas weapon skill is factored into armour calculations (admittedly with diminishing returns after 12) boosts your attack skills and increases the chance of criticals. Go with 16 weapon.

The added bonus you want is for the skills related to the weapon/strength (example power strike, executioners strike)...

The dmg from the weapon itself probably wont see a difference.
