I was traveling with Cosnach, a different companion I met in Markarth, and I noticed he would tend to favor 2 handed weapons, no matter what I gave him, although he would sometimes switch to bow. I think the NPCs have certain skill levels and prefer using weapons that are in line with their higher skills.
He was my follower for the past couple of days, but I got tired of his strange drunken banter. Every time I'd talk to him, he hit on my Breton, saying he'd marry her twice. If his voice wasn't so pukey, she'd consider it.

Combat-wise, though, he's pretty good, and I noticed he favored 2-handed weapons as well.
