Fencing- what weapon is the most fun?

Could anyone tell me more about the role of leg strength and spring in fencing? I imagine it can be tremendously important, but wonder if my naturally slow legs and flat ass would be a bigger handicap in one type of swordplay than another?

STRONG legs will help you have a big lunge. I have really strong legs and when they aren't tired it feels like I can lunge to the other side of the strip.

However, slow legs or legs with poor endurance is absolute death in saber. You can get away with average leg speed at low level foil/epee, but if your wheels aren't turning fast enough in saber you might as well just make it easy on yourself and stand still with your guard down.
