Those aren't opposing questions. Either way pretty much every weapon is viable in NG (aside from whips and gauntlets which perform poorly at basically every level). It's really a matter of what weapon has the most attractive moveset to you, or fashion souls.

If you like using the Battle Axe, continue to use it. If you start to find the Battle Axe disappointing, use a different weapon. It's really that simple.
