Okay, here's the deal. I absolutely stink when it comes to deciding on something. Right, so I need a new character for my friend's FR game. My last one died on the ship, but thankfully we have a crew of Dwarven mercenaries aboard, so I have plenty of room to maneuver.
So, anyway, I've made three characters that look promising. Help me decide which is best.

#3: Dwarf Fighter 9; HD 9d10+36; hp 88; Init +0; spd 30 ft; AC 26, touch 10, flat-footed 26; Base Atk +9; Grp +13; Atk +17 melee (1d10 +8, +2 Dwarven Waraxe) or +9 ranged (1d10, Heavy Crossbow); Full Atk +17/+12 melee (1d10 +8, +2 Dwarven Waraxe) or +9 ranged (1d10, Heavy Crossbow); SQ Dwarf Traits; AL NG; SV Fort +10, Ref +3, Will +3; Str 18, Dex 11, Con 18, Int 13, Wis 10, Cha 8.

Possessions: +2 Dwarven Waraxe, Heavy Crossbow, +3 Full Plate, +3 Heavy Steel Shield, Armbands of Might, Boots of Striding and Springing.
Okay, I like all of these. And yes, they are all one-trick ponies. With a Wizard/Arcane Archer, a Psion, A Druid and a Cleric, it pretty much falls to me to be the front-line fighter (especially since we rarely have advance warning before a fight, so our Cleric has to waste several rounds buffing herself).
If someone has a better suggestion/build (especially build - it takes me forever), I'd love to hear it. Otherwise, which of these do you think is best?
