Any kind of close combat weapon would be a bad idea. Especially should the zombie blood be contagious! You dont want blood splattering around everywhere, and getting on your face, and body. Explosives, and firearms are the better, so you have at least some distance from them.

Splattering isnt a huge issue unless it is a new zombie. their blood congeals in their feins and becomes hard after a period of time. The only "gooey" part is their brain where the virus is still working. With that being said a suid of shark armor or a neoprene suit would work great as armor.
