I am a first timer Dark Souls player playing through the game for the first time. Wanderer class, just killed the Gaping Dragon and made it back to Andre with the large ember. My Balder sword was my bread and butter until I decided to kill the merchant and get the uchigatana, and I've been using that now for some time, and I'm not sure which I like better. The Balder sword does slightly less damage but has faster attacks, and the Uchigatana has different attacks. Both are +5 right now and I don't know which one I want to stick with.

What are your opinions?
