All base one-handed weapons have the same swing speed in Diablo and Hellfire.
Blunt weapons deal 50% damage to Animals, 100% damage to Demons, and 150% damage to Undead. This is factored in after all other damage calculations, and makes it so that a blunt does effectively 3x more damage to an undead than a sword does. It's recommended that characters use some sort of club against skeletons and zombies, especially low level characters. By the same token, it's wise to switch to a sword when animals are the enemy, such as during most of the Caves levels.
Blunts aren't often used outside of the Church and Cats, since there are very few undead found in the Caves or Hell (or the Hive or Crypt, in Hellfire), and since the highest damage one handed swords do much more damage than the best one handed blunts.
The Barbarian can use the Maul one-handed. It is two-handed for all other characters.
