He's asking what's best IRL.

It depends, I would say. Are you fighting a battle, in ranks, or are you alone, against a single opponent?

In ranks, it's situational. A phalanx can cause terrible damage on a formation of horsemen with lances, but then again a flexible sword formation can shred a phalanx, as the Romans taught us.

One on one? Dunno, longsword probably, as it's maneuverable, you have alot of reach, and it's equally good on offense or defense.
