I have a little collection of GB's, including the small forest, scandanvian forest, and mini belt hatchet, and for "all purpose" I'd suggest the scandanavian. It's got a great length handle, the head has a fantastic cut and isn't too heavy so you won't tire too quickly. The only con I'd say is the obvious... they're not great for splitting rounds due to the head geometry. Kindling, absolutely, but anything bigger than your thigh may require some effort.
May i suggest a non-GB? Check out the Helko Pioneer. It is roughly the same length handle as the scandanavian forest axe, but a bit beefier in the hands, and the head is a tad heavier and thicker. It's proven to be a fantastic cutter and it's not half bad at splitting also. It's excellent, quickly became a fave. Great metal too, holds a fantastic edge and has never rolled or chipped on me. Enjoy responsibly :).
