Each class has different weapon type proficiency, so you want to be using a weapon your class is good at.
For example, Thieves are 95% proficient at short-blades alone, but Vamps are 95% in three different types so have more options.

But how can you tell what type a weapon falls under?
You can "exam <weapon>" and after the flavor text it will tell you what type of damage it does. For example:
This seems to be a piercing weapon.
Those description lines are tied to weapon type's as follows:
Attack | |
---|---|
Bludgeons | Crushing or Pounding |
Long Blades | Slashing or Slicing |
Short Blades | Piercing of Stabbing |
Talonous Arms | Clawing |
Flexible Arms | Whipping or Flailing |
Pugilism | Blasting, Hitting, Suction, Biting |
Polearms | Hacking, Thrusting, Raking |
So, for example, Aug's are best at Flexible Arms, which means looking for a Whipping or Flailing weapon.
