Personally I mix up my melee squads to avoid overspecialization in one weapon type. Still I hardly use maces, since I feel like those are basically an inferior version of the hammer.

I tend to try to keep a 1:1:1 ratio, hammer, axe, crossbow. maybe 2:2:1 if i'm feeling good, or don't have enough good materials for the crossbowdwarves.

I use a 1:1:1.5, but I keep some of the crossbow Dwarves back in the fortress usually in case something were to go horribly wrong.

No hammers. No swords. No maces. Only crossbows. Lots of crossbows. All my pioneer dwarves have proficient skills with crossbows. When migrants arrive, I set them all to hunt while the migrants work and then suddenly they're all legendary marksdwarves.

With fifty unicorn kills each.
