No experience, but I have been reading up a lot on axes recently after my first climbing outing. The anaconda is a really ugly axe, and the hendle doesn't look ergonomic at all. Obviously there is nothing that can match Decathlon pricing but the CAMP X-lights are in a similar category to the anaconda but look much more comfortable and won't break the bank. Then you have the Petzl Sum'Tec with the removable trigrest which will perform much better for using cane style than the others if you will be doing more snow slopes than ice.
Again, this is all just internet knowledge, not experience, so feel free to trash it.
