I typically base it on 1 thing: My character's role. If I'm creating a character for a pre-defined role, then the weaponry and magic will reflect that
Otherwise, my character's weapon is fairly unknown until I write down everything about my character and start searching for the picture
Most my characters use either long range (sniper, bow, or sniper crossbow) or speed and deception (ninja-like). I've only recently started having them use basic melee weapons like swords
