It's difficult because each weapon is so very clearly customised to its user's fighting style and personal preferences so it is difficult to have an objective assessment of each one. Really, you're left to play aesthetic favorites.

In terms of pure flexibility it is definitely a run-off against Gambol Shroud and Milo. In terms of 'plug and play' ease-of-use, Jade Dragons. Myrtenaster has an artistic elegance to it that suits Weiss's upper-class background but is disqualified because of the way it is optimised to Weiss's Semblance.

Overall, I think Sword and Shielth has a lot to say for it. In the end, having a large bit of metal to hide behind and a pointy thing to poke into bad people is the most you can ask for in a tight spot.
