Just an idea for these two types of weapons since most weapon kinds have 3 variations. Practically its also useful because i believe the sizes are a problem. A heavy mace for example is two handed for a medium size person. And better names make them cooler
Therefore-
Maces:
Club or (War Club)
Mace or (Spiked Mace)
Flail or (Bishop's Flail)
A Flail is a mace with the ball connected by a chain so it would therefore be a bit heavier than a normal mace. Especially the Bishops Flail.

Hammers:
Light Mallet
War Hammer
Maul or (Heavy Maul)

How many people actually use hammers and maces? I'm guessing most if not all experianced players have slashing or piercing damaging weapons.

I think only new players or people with a new char use these untill they can get a decent custom made weapon form someone.

Exact opposite. Usually the newer players stick with slashing, and the more experienced players will use all three damage types, depending on the situation.
