Some sets are very nice, like the IK set, but a combination of the top uniques can easily outclass any set (and those can be outclassed by a combination of godly rares). IK's set however, is very good because it has excellent damage (both elemental and physical), high resists, all the necessary melee attributes (leech, CB, ...) and it's rather cheap compared to unique items.

Polearm and spear both do a very high amount of damage and have a long range, but they're rather slow and you can't use a shield (thus sacrificing protection). Maces don't require dexterity and do high damage, but have a very short range (so you have to be close to your target). Axes are fast but do lower damage, and swords are somewhere inbetween axes and maces but they can all be used onehanded and you have a greater amount of swords to choose from when defining your equipment. If you want to use onehanded weapons, I'd say swords or axes, and if you want to go twohanded then use mauls or polearms. That's what I would do anyway.
