Well, DS1 didn't have many boss souls and even less boss soul weapons. DS2 actually fixed this problem by making every boss drop a soul and having decent boss soul weapons like the Dragonrider bow. DS3 returned to the same problem that DS1 had. Almost 70% of boss soul weapons are pretty useless when compared to their normal counterparts.

Take the Caestus and the demon's fist for example. The demon fist has D scaling with strength as well as E scaling in both faith and Intelligence and can't be buffed while the Caestus have D scaling in both Dexterity and strength and can be buffed.

In the end, It all depends on the player's playstyle.
