Templar is amazing for Dual-Wield Cleave, great at Ele cleave and average for Physical cleave. Marauder is neutral, but a very solid choice if you're not sure to go ele or phy cleave. Duelist is more focused for Physical Cleave builds.
I ended up sticking with my Marauder and this is the build I'm using with my lvl 90 cleaver. His stats are pretty amazing: 40k dps, 5k life, 50% block, 13k armor. I doubt I'll ever make a stronger character, he can zip through any map.
Ele cleave is probably easier to start with, since you can greatly buff damage from Wrath, Anger, and Weapon Elemental Damage. The whole point of ele cleave is that cleave reduces physical damage while dual-wielding, but not elemental. You'll need good physical 1H'ers to make physical cleave work, but you'll just need gems and mediocre ele weapons to make ele Cleave work.
Here's a decent templar ele cleave build: http://goo.gl/DGtaqc
Here's a duelist physical cleave build: http://goo.gl/u7tsCS
Those are some quick tips. I can detail more another day if you have more questions.
