All weapons are, essentially, equal. They just are suited for different fighting styles. Scimitar is a more versatile weapon. Poleaxe has better, much better, range though, and so it can be good. A poleaxe with knockback two would be awesome, it would probably allow you to never be in range of the swordsman, and a poleaxe+bow can make epic comboes, but a sword has higher DPS and will wreck any poleaxeman if they are within a few blocks.
