I'm giving my axedwarf a great axe, can he still use a shield without too much penalty? He is a talented axedwarf and a skilled shield user. Would a buckler be better than the shield?

Sadly, according to the wiki, due to a bug you cannot give dwarves Great Axes

A great axe is an edged weapon that is essentially a larger battle axe. Great axes are more than 50% larger than standard battle axes, though their attacks remain the same. A great axe's blade has a 50% larger contact area and 33% greater penetration, for even more limb-severing fun.
Great axes use and train the Axedwarf skill. As foreign weapons dwarves cannot forge great axes, limiting supply to whatever low-quality specimens can be traded from human caravans and scavenged from invaders.
Due to the size of great axes, most dwarves are unable to equip them. With height and broadness modifiers, some dwarves should be able to use a great axe, and a select few might manage to do so one-handed. Unfortunately, due to a bug, great axes cannot currently be equipped by any dwarves.
