It depends partially on fighting style. You might work best with the balanced arming sword. I tend to use lots of drive-bys, so a watered-steel nomad sabre is best for me.
Edit: I just checked the stats. It looks like the best one-handed weapons are the ws sabre, balanced arming sword, and (if you like power) balanced falchion.

balanced broadsword is what all of my guys use..
You lie, all of you. The best one-handed sword is the watered-steel nomad sabre, but the best one-handed weapon is the heavy military hammer.

Yeah, when I first started the game, I was all about looking at the weapons stats and trying to see if I was playing most effectively and getting the competitive edge.
Now, what does it matter to me if one weapon has a slightly higher speed rating or delivers 2 extra damage points (or 10 points, for that matter)? Not much really, I'll just hit 'im again.
Until or unless there's a distinctive feel that separates a scimitar from a Nordic sword, I will just use whatever I'm in the mood to use.
If the scimitar had a distinctive "whoooosh" sound, or the war hammer had a heavy sounding "thuuuuuuuddddddddd" knocking the enemy over in a different way than any other weapon, it matters little to me how my opponent buys it.
If using the lance sent my target flying in the air after a satisfying "Blammmmmm!" that rocked me and my horse a bit (say by shaking our camera view), then I'd use it more often.
Right now, kill a guy with a sword, lance, arrow, hammer: it's all the same. Guys falls over.
Anyway, my point is the best weapon is the weapon I feel like using. Going by stats or "damage delivered" isn't wrong, just kind of trivial most of the time. We need better sound effects and combat graphics.

I find a watered steel nomad sabre to be the optimal combination of speed, length, and hitting power for me. If done right it can be used for a double-whammy on horseback -- few other weapons can make that claim.
For single-handed bludgeoning I tend to prefer the heavy spiked mace, as it's a mite longer than the hammers; that means one can be a little less precise, which is important when the framerate starts dropping

Watered Steel Scimitar is afar superior to any other one handed weapon. It's fast as hell, and doesn't do bad damage.

Once you've gotten past the ultimate badass balanced sword of war reinforced black everything super awesome kill everything no damage received ultra phase that seems so compelling at first, I found that it's actually a lot more fun to create a certain type of character and equip him based on who he is rather than based on what's the best. If you're good enough then your actual skill will more than make up for the loss in equipment, and it gives a lot more personality to the game.
Im level 59, most things die in one hit with any weapon. I do love the look of the heavy battle axe though. And i always have my war bow there to take them down faster if needs be. I find the only advantage from one weapon to the next at my level is reach. speeds not too important. level 5 athletics sees too that. damage is upped enough by my proficiencies and my strength based skills do the rest.. Go for reach. A heavy Baradich or something.

I guess 28 rating is max for all single-hand, non-polearm weapon. Correct me if I am wrong.
So, I am always taking the reach as second major factor, it is more cruical when your pc is mounted. Speed comes last as it is rare you can swing twice towards same target in a single pass.
I guess there is a mod/cheat out there allowing your pc to go beyond level 50~~~
