Uchigatana--elegant, deadly. I can just imagine how many openings somebody would leave, swinging such a clumsy thing around... >_>

True but can a katana be used efficiently for stabbing moves? I'm honestly asking, I have no idea.

The katana can be used for thrusting stabbing moves but only by somebody whose mastered it through years of practise, I can barely use a cutlery knife never mind a martial arts weapon.
I'd opt for a real Japanese hand crafted $40,000 dollar katana made by a master craftsman. If I'm gonna die may as well do it with style.Like (1)

Well, if you lose a duel with enough grace and style it will feel like a victory.

I would not choose either swords. I would rather go with a Claymore or Two Arming/Knightly swords in each hand.

And if we throw all restrictions out of the window I'd chose nun-chucks with chainsaws on the ends but back on track, double wielding long swords is pure fantasy , no point in it.

The Arming/Knightly sword is not a long sword but it is the precursor to the long sword. The Blade section is shorter and the overall sword is lighter so you could use one in each hand albeit with a certain degree of coordinated difficulty.

German great sword. It's a proper two handed sword because you HAVE to use two hands for it, rather than using one hand or two.

Bastard sword is synonymous with long sword.

Yeah, the description may look confusing but I wanted to compare a specific long sword (the bastard) with a specific long blade of the Muromachi period (era?)

A long sword generally has a hilt length of 1.5x the normal size, thus allowing for both one and two-handed use. Anyway, I would go with a European blade before a Japanese one. Japan had inferior iron ore deposits compared to the West.
