The Black Knight Greatsword is a good (great) weapon for PvE. It is very slow, but devastating. That said, I don't think you are meant to get it so early on in the game. It can and will clobber everything in your path, even 1 or 2 shoting certain bosses if you invest your twinkling titanite into it. It only gets surpassed at very very end game.

The downside of this weapon is that you won't learn much from using it. Worst, you'll probably learn to button smash.

The BSS, on the other hand, you can't just whack away with, but with a minimal amount of skill, can be devastating. I really recommend you use the BSS.

Worst case scenario, keep the BKGS as a "side weapon" for when bosses piss you off :D
