Starting a new character... build advice request

I took a break from dks3 after finishing the dlc bosses, now that I'm playing again I started a new character. I'm on the fence on if I want to do a strength build or not. Ive never done one before, the weapons always seemed too slow. So, I'm asking that any of ya that enjoy strength builds, sell it to me. The damage seems great for pve, but from my experiences in pvp strength builds never really gave me a lot of grief. I enjoy dabbling in pvp as much as I enjoy clearing zones and killing bosses. I'm probably 40-60 there, pvp:pve. If I can get weapon choice advice as well as being sold on doing a strength build, I would be thankful!

Edit/update: currently just got yhorms machete and upgraded it to +3. Before that I had cleared through everything with the butcher knight. I killed yhorm before aldrich to get this weapon. Now going through post pontiff irythill. Don't know how much I'm digging the machete. I like the ridiculous damage, but the moveset is meh. Especially while pvping (of course I did some invasions with my new toy). The range is deceptive in that it's less than what you'd think, at least in my limited experience. It's like the top 1/4 of the blade is just a graphic for show, hit anything past the notch and you maybe get a knock back with no damage on opponent. I've never had as many phantom hits as I've had with this. I'm wondering if anyone has recommendation for an UGS that doesn't deceive my eyes like this. How's the cathedral knight greatsword and regular ol greatsword ? I've picked up both of those. The cathedral knight GS has horizontal sweeps, which I like.
