A Falchion is better for buffing imo. It has a faster R1 than the katanas' which means that the buff can deal more damage before wearing off.

It also has lower weight (I think) and is easier to get as there is no need for Forest Hunter to get Shiva, tricky jumping for Iaito or killing the merchant for Uchi. (Sure, he's not hard to kill but you become a sinner. And most players doesn't like to be invaded by Darkmoons.)
