If balance were not an issue, would you rather wield

1h Weapon + Shield
Dual Wield
2h Weapon?

And which weapon(s)?

Currently invalid combos like bow+dagger or sword+wand are welcome as well.

Why?

(As a kid I was all about the 2h swords; nowadays there is something sexy about sword and shield. More specifically a straight edge sword like broadsword, arming sword, estoc, rapier, or fantasy longsword, plus a kite shield. Kite shields look badass. Bucklers and round shields look pretty good too, but they give a primitive feeling to me somehow. Tower shields just look way too bulky. Even if they were more practical it is just too much.)

That's true, PoE doesn't have whips, does it.

We could talk about such things but this thread might get moved to Off Topic. I guess it's my fault for mentioning terms like "arming sword" which don't appear in PoE either, oops.

If you want an honest, on topic response... I prefer variety. PoE has it. Only thing missing is a str based ranged weapon (like spears or javelins).
2x shields.

Advancing Fortress only goes so far.
1H + Shield, I am a Tank at heart.
~ Adapt, Improvise and Overcome
Dual Wield.

Facebreakers (C'mon, I have 2 hands, why is it not "Dual Wield"?)

But I'd also like to have a few more skills usable too... Cyclone + Shield Charge being the only notable decent skills for them...

Where's the love for Ground Slam, Earthquake and Sunder? (I mean, if that Unique Dropbear in Act 2 can Earthquake... Why can't my character ;_; )
I have a bow within arms reach for a reason. So uh. That.
Bonus points: on horseback.
(currently in training)

Proper spears would be cool, too, but that's never gonna happen; not really the combat system for it ('sword but long' is not a proper spear) and would be mandatory for Cyclone, lol. Happy to get my fill of those in Soulsborne/-like games though.
