+5 Astora's is pretty much outclassed by +6 Divine Longsword because Astora's has mediocre C scaling all around, but +6 Divine Longsword has B scaling in Faith, meaning you don't have to spread your stats as thinly. Plus, it's impossible to get past +3 Astora's until Anor Londo due to limited supplies of twinkling (without going into the DLC), whereas a Longsword can be raised as far as +9 Divine before even ringing the first bell, and +10 Divine before Sen's Fortress, on ng.
