When it comes to weapon choices its honestly about what style you like the best and what move set/tactics you enjoy the most. I've played since MH came to the US on PS2 and since then I've tried every weapon and went into them all quite a bit. It seems though with all the weapons they add the hammer is what I usually fall back to as well as the GS. Yes the GS is quite popular but its always a good go to weapon. The Hunting Horn to me is really only good for group play as it is honestly to me a support item that can do damage. It's honestly what I play with a lot of the time in jolly cooperation unless we need some more damage. The Switch Ax I've never been a fan of but its a decent weapon in my opinion. Kinda a mix between a LS and GS. It just feels sorta ?clunky? to me but hey give it some time and a go and who knows you might enjoy it once enough time is spent on it. All in all though its up to your play style. Do tons of damage GS and Hammer are your in out weapons. DS if you want stupid amounts and are all about staying. LS is good sustained damage and great for cutting off parts as well as the Switch Ax. Lance and Gun Lance defensive turtle to victory. Charge Blade and Insect Staff are interesting and offer that sustained/burst damage once they are charged/buffed. Hunting Horn is great for group support and the SnS is always to me a great weapon when you learn how to wield it properly. When it comes to range weapons LGB is good all around. Easy to reposition and unload on the monster plus its good for elemental ammos. Bow is a really great to position with and plus no need for ammo but a tad complex to use. HGB is damage and great if you have that "platform to stand on" because it lacks mobility. I hope this helps.
