I'll do my best:

I'm sure Pewter is stronger than standard armor but that's hard to tell. Axes have an edge (no pun intended) over hammers with them being able to puncture, dismember and even disembowel along with the benefit of decapitation (famed by executioners in the midevil ages). Shardplate is several times weaker than Hemalurgically-enhanced Allomancy and Feruchemy. I've never witnessed the one-hit killers personally but distance makes the difference in that area. In the end, I think everything is in Marsh's favor.
