Small weapon, small weapon and small shield and big weapon all appeal to me.

Small weapon alone is cool in the same way, for instance, John Wick killing 100 guys in a night club with one pistol is cool. It's a marker of extreme competence that the wielder doesn't feel like he needs to fill his hands to reliably get the job done.

Small weapon and small shield allows flexibility, I like it in video games, my first instinct when I start playing a Souls game or a game like it is to go mace and shield. I do hate the sword and shield in Monster Hunter though, but that's probably because Monster Hunter weapons are not necessarily about what the physical weapon instinctively indicate their gameplay would be like.

Big weapon is cool to me only provided the weapon is a spear/polearm. Giant stupid swords (I mean FFVII here, not historical two handed swords) is strictly for cringe edgelording. That said, in MH I main either horn or hammer, so apparently I can get over impractically large weapons.

Two small weapons is for cringe edgelording as well.
