1-9: use a one-hander
10-19: dwarven two-handed axe
20-30: Langseax of the Wolves, bone bladed claymore
30-40: gigantic zweihandler, axe of the slayers, executioner's axe
40-50: executioner's axe remains solid, not sure what else there is in classic
Edit: Two handers are generally better for tanking until around level 40 when dual wield starts to actually proc and level-based damage bonus begins to heavily favor fast weapons over slow ones. Also, SSoY begin to proc around that time, which is pretty much the staple cookie-cutter warrior aggro weapon in classic. Actually getting a SSoY or two before level 50 is another matter since the ghoul lord is level 47, so executioner's axe may remain one of the top choices for aggro holding until then (or until you get really high ratio one handers and FBSS)
