Well, it depends really.

Axe = a CHANCE for a bleed damage application
Mace = physical resistance ignore = more damage
Swords = flat +damage%
Dagger = crit bonus

When it comes to endgame, for those using dual-wield, most prefer dagger/dagger (for the crit passive), however dagger/axe is also acceptable. (At least for veteran Maelstrom Arena weapons.)

Now, mace looks good at first glance, however there's some things you have to take in to consideration:

Maces truly shine on targets with REALLY high resistances. Either other plate wearing players (PvP), or Trial bosses. Chances are that even in normal/veteran dungeons, you're going to have people keeping Major Fracture up on your target at all times (or should; you yourself should be if you're a tank in some cases, IIRC).

Pair that with anyone using the Night Mother's Gaze set, and boss resistances are now at 0 and that penetration from the mace is wasted.

Swords are okay. There's about middle of the pack in almost all of the simulations I've seen, in every scenario. Other weapon choices, however, rise or fall on the same sims based on different circumstances. Swords are the only weapons to have a "stable" place.

Most 1H+Shield folks I've seen don't use daggers. Chances are you're not really a crit build if you're using 1H+Shield anyway, so there's that.

So, given that information: it depends wildly on your build and your current role.

If you're a DW/Bow user, I'd say go with Dagger/Dagger, especially if you're Khajiit.

If you're a 1H+Shield user, I'd say go with Swords.

I can't really recommend Maces, unless you're doing veteran Trials.

I can't really recommend Axes, unless you have 1 vMA Dagger and 1 vMA Axe.

Also, as far as I know, they all have the same swing speed.

I really think this is just the case when you have the last passive of the dual-wield skill tree or when you do two-handed with the 2nd passive. With One hand and shield I believe (but correct me) the weapon does not matter.


edit: I looked it up, but only if they patched something recently which changed that. the weapon type does not matter with one hand and shield.
