Viable types of Barbs in Hell? (unmodded single player)

All,

I play single player and I'm wondering what are the different types of barbarians that are viable for doing well through Hell difficulty?

I play LoD 1.13 with no mods. I do own 3 legal copies of LoD and basic Diablo 2, and I have 3 computers, so I can mule my items without a mule application. So I do some hell meph runs and I have some mediocre gear.

I'm just wondering what the different types of barbs are that can get though hell. I'd like to have a sword guy, an axe guy and a mace guy, just to use all the different weapons hell meph has dropped for me.

I do have a level 70 concentration barbarian and I find it boring as all get-out. I tried whirlwind ages ago and I didnt like it much (tho I was a sword and shield whirlwinder, not too effective).

I figure since I never liked Concentration or Whirlwind, that leaves only a Fury build as the main remaining hell-viable build? Or are there more? A leap-attack barbarian or a berserk barbarian perhaps?

Thanks!
