Well, in vanilla Dwarf Fortress there is only one weapon type per "class" for the dwarves. Other weapon types can only be imported, looted or created in a fey mood. They are considered as exotic weapons. I'd do the same in this mod, allowing those exotic weapons only to be looted from the attacker waves. Furthermore the common dwarven weapons are 1handed only. 2handers are exotic weapons.
For maximum immersion I'd stick to this and give a choice of 6(5 military + 1 civilian for fun) classes for the dwarves:
Melee dwarves:
For the melee dwarves the following armor choices would be nice:
normal clothing (10ish armor, sum of about 5 weight)
leather armor (20ish armor, 10ish weight)
mail armor (35ish armor, 20ish weight)[copper, iron, bronze, steel, adamantine]
plate armor (50ish armor, 40ish weight)[bone, copper, iron, bronze, steel, adamantine]
buckler (40 size, 30 armor, 250 hp, 90 speed) [leather, wood, copper, iron, bronze, steel, adamantine]
shield (80 size, 20 armor, 350 hp, 80 speed) [leather, wood, copper, iron, bronze, steel, adamantine]
Sworddwarf
short sword (23c swing, 23p thrust, 85 reach, 1.0 weight, 101 speed) [copper, iron, bronze, obsidian, steel, adamantine]

large dagger(20c swing, 25p thrust, 65 reach, 0.6 weight, 105 speed) [copper, iron, bronze]
scimitar (27c swing, 16p thrust, 93 reach, 1.25 weight, 99 speed) [copper, iron, bronze]
long sword(25c swing, 22p thrust, 96reach, 1.5 weight, 98 speed) [copper, iron, bronze] - maybe allow to switch to 2h mode _(x-key, next_item_as_melee)

Maybe speardwarves should also get access to the large dagger or short swords.
