Best Type of Weapon for Melee

Hi,

So for a long time I have been using Fostner, now I am in the Plains and getting ready to go to Mistlands it got me thinking. Are clubs are good choice to stick with and is there anything that's going to be more useful that Frostner since the freeze effect is great giving me more breathing space for my slow reflexes.

And for bows I have the Dragur Fang and its been good but I see there is one more bow with higher damage Spinesnap, but its bonus damage type is Spirit which almost everything is immune to. So is the increase in the pierce damage with Spinesnap enough to mitigate loosing the poison damage from Draugr Fang?

I prefer to stick to one main weapon type for each category (distance and melee), mainly because of the slow skill leveling process.

​

Edit: I should have also mentioned that I do like using shields since I like the extra defense, so I am looking more at one handed melee weapons not 2 handed.
