The Longsword is a quality weapon, that scales well with both Strength and Dexterity, since it is infused with Fire, it also scales, to a lesser degree, with Intelligence and Faith.

The Blacksteel, on the other hand, scales extremly well with Dexterity, and poorly with Strength.

It's up to your stats, and opinion on a weapons moveset, that should decide if you're going to use it or not.
