Conclusions;

The Minos win on the charge no matter what item they take.

The Great Weps win by - 4
The 2 Hand Weps win by - 2
The Shields win by - 1

The Great Weps take the least return damage, followed by the Shields and then the 2 Hand Wep option.

Now, if the Warriors hold, so if they are stubborn or have a BSB nearby.

Great Weps win by - 1 with a total of 5 wounds recieved.
Shields Draw with a total of 4 wounds recieved.
2 Hand Weps lose by - 1 with a total of 6 wounds recieved.

So this is how they finish in that scenario;

1st - Great Weps
2nd - Shields
3rd - 2 Hand Weps
