I'm not particulary interested in 'best' weapons, I leave that preference to my characters but speaking of swords, Umbra is my favorite one. It is easier to obtain than its powerful counterpart Goldbrand (lower level requirement, easier offering - 500 gold for Clavicus Vile compared to Daedra heart for Boethiah which is not so easy to get if one avoids MQ and doesn't use UESP for help) and Umbra also isn't that difficult to kill, especially with good sneak attacks.
Although UESP states that both Goldbrand and Umbra are the same in speed, I always had a feeling that Umbra is way faster. And the most important reason why I prefer Umbra... it's IMO the best looking sword in Oblivion.
Speaking of blunt weapons, I really like Truncheon of submission because of its stats.
