I do both (wait to upgrade, Great Axe), unless I suddenly need to battle. Since I usually get faster windmills instead of Greater Spikes, and I never use the Spawn Pad, age 9 doesn't even matter to me.

I like to use the Samurai Hat with the Polearm and Great Hammer. That way you can almost match the Katana's attack speed and smash structures 2x as fast.

When battling player's with Katanas, you can hit them before they get close enough to hit you and knock them backwards, usually giving you enough time to reload, especially if you back up, forcing them to come to you. If they run you can chase them, because the Polearm has a better Move Speed than Katana and Short Sword.
