Well, in real life (I assume you're talking about some game, but let's make this a serious argument shall we?

Also, halberds can practically only be used for slashing attacks, which are relatively easy to block, while a good spear can be used for both slashing and thrusting. So I think I personally would go with a spear, as far as polearms are concerned.
Ah, but you forget about the little spear-like tip of the halberd
The only down-side with that one is that you can't really impale someone that good because the axe is in the way..
But I find it very good to cause serious injuries to larger people's private parts
