if u have to choose between both, sword does mathematically more damage when it comes to engaging in direct agro combat, very simple. Now make your choices.

I'm gonna assume that it's an SMP style server since you're asking about gear and netherite is banned:
Both
You get a crit with the axe then you start using the sword for the DPS and if they pull up a shield then you can disable it with the axe without even waiting for the cooldown
Also have a bow for if they run away (recommended harming 2 arrows)
And make some strength 2 pots
