Best weapons before NG+ are always, always the Chaos Weapons.

Not to mention they're pretty good even for PvP.

And best Chaos Weapons are the bleeding weapons.

Great Scythe, Uchigatana, Reinforced Club.

All weapons with low stats requirement.

Otherwise, if you're not interested in the bleeding effect, there's also the Gargoyle Halberd with that sweet resistances bonuses.

And finally, if you just want a solid PvP weapon with a lot of damage, yep, the Zweihander is the way to go, just "zweihand" it.
