Had to make a minor edit to my thing. I keep typing Sultansword instead of Sultansworn for some reason. I now need a weapon called the Sultansword, bequeathed by Nanamo to the greatest Paladin...
But yeah, there's quite a difference both mechanically and from a lore standpoint. It's hard to vote for one or the other because that would be based on our own personal preferences and the personalities of our characters. It's hard to say which one would better fit yours without knowing more about them!
On the plus side, you don't have to lock yourself to one choice or the other! The other class is just a weapon change away! Try them both out, see which one you like more. Even if you picked one as your character's IC class, there's nothing saying something couldn't happen that could make them put down the sword and board and take up the axe (Like our own Steel Wolf!)!
