Default Giving weapons / items to commanders (dual wielding)?

I notice that some commanders dual wield, and the description says too "they usually carry two broadswords into battle". Whereas the Machaka Spider Guy has a bane blade and a bane dagger, because (which would make sense) perhaps a lighter weapon in the off-hand would be easier to use? Then one "tip of the turn" says "ambidextrous leaders have no penatly when dual wielding" -- are those these guys, or which ones are those?

My main question is this however: Does it make sense to give this captains other weapons, particularly ranged ones? Or are they "used to" dual wielding and are better at them than the ranged ones? Can the computer AI figure out when it would be good to use ranged and when melee? Does it know: dont use "incenerate" on Abyssians?

thanks
