This isn't a question I can answer with one choice only... cuz I have favorite Weapon for different  thing or category... But I'll try to do my best...

First of I'll say this if I really had to limit myself to one it would be the Sunlight Straight Sword from DkS1, good looking, god base damage, good scalling amongst Straight Sword, good range, and good moveset...

Now...

Ranged Weapon;

I prefer the Black Bow of Pharis from DkS1, it was strong, had realy good rrange, it didn't depleted that many stamina and was strong but if we talk damage output, I have to go with DkS2' Dragon Rider Bow, it'S basically a miniature Greatbow, pack a punch and it doesn't have to be deploy so yeah... If it's to annoy  people, DkS1'S Avelyn (didn't liked DkS2's version design) cuz people doesn't always noticed it is Avelyn and stop blocking allowing  at least one if not the 2 other bolt to strike...

With ranged out of the way, melee

if we want Versatility,  DkS2's Santier's Spear... it borrows from 4 different weapon type moveset... oh and once it'S broken it cannot break anymore and is the best weapon weapon for prolonged trip between bonefire...

for Poison or Bleed Buildup, Ricard's Rapier it'S power attack is the best and therefore is my favorite weapon o do build up...

For high DPS, I like the Twinblade... Although I have a almost all of them (I haven't tried Sorcerer or Cuved ones yet) I have to go with the regular one, which is my main weapon...it can stunlock other player if the user (you) has a lot of stamina... I would have gone with Dragon RIder if it didn't had INT scalling bonus as well as no possibility to use resine on it or the Stone Twinblade but that one has no durability... and Red Iron has a different moveset from all other twinblade which makes it immpractical...

For  High Damage,  SMelter Demon Sword or the Great Club which can easily 1-hit or 2-hit player who have a relatively high health and fully upgraded, as I called them, "upper-tier" medium armor (Elite Knight, Royal Swordsman, Alva Armor... high def and not do heavy although I'm not sure about Royal Swordsman weight)

for DkS2 Fashion Soul haven't done much fashion soul in DkS1) it depends (you can ask me on my wall if you want to learn the other equipement I used for the look)...

If you want a Gladiator look,  Heide Lance and Twin Dragon greatshield or Broad Sword with a small or medium sized round shield (best if in metal)

For a fallen warrior look, the Thief Broken Sword is good (although it'S a dagger it'S still better than Broken Staright Sword in my opinion)

for a Hero looking guy ( part medium armor and part heavy armor, supposed to look epic, is agile yet stong) the Estoc (it looks like a long sword but is longer  all in the looks...)

for a somewhat attractive female jungle warrior (I just don't know how to call this build... it's the Lion Mage set with Lion Warrior head or Lion Mage Cuff and Skirt with Lion Mage head and armor)  use the Monastery Scimitar

for the badass design, Spider Fang
