Longsword for me, a superb balance of offense and defense, not to mention it meshes shocking well with martial arts. Also, the utility of half swording and guard/pommel strikes.

In a fantasy system like Magnus Archives or Harry Potter, magic may be the best but in most systems where you can run out of 'mana' or where there are ways to counter it, I take the blade.
