What Monster Hunter Tri Weapon do you prefer?

Everyone has their own style and preference, especially in a game like Monster Hunter Tri. Just wondering what everyone's choice for favorite weapon was (or which weapon you would use if you had the game).

My weapon of choice, so far, is the hammer. A little slow on the swing, but it packs such a wallop when it hits. Not to mention that it stuns many monsters easily, doesn't seem to dull easy, and allows for dodging. I am not very far in the game yet, but I've already taken on two Great Jaggis at once and won thanks to this little wonder. I'll be trying out some other weapons and see how they feel soon, but for now I'm happy with this one (just wish I had the chance to play a little more now, the Wii is at home, I am not).

I was going to buy this game today but Best Buy was sold out of the copies bundled with the Classic Controller Pro. I'll take part in this poll when I get my copy.
