The Longsword is statistically 13 points stronger. However, at 16/40 the SKSS hits for roughly 50 points more than the Longsword, at a loss of 12 points of damage, compared to having 40 Strength. The Longsword, however, loses about 75 points of damage from only having 16 Strength.

There's also the issue that they have vastly different movesets, so you should consider which you like using the most, rather than which has the best stats, in case you're already at about 30/30.
