The sword of Turin(what was the name of the sword again), because I love the story, and he is quite the sad guy.

Can I say Sting? (and, no I do not fancy Frodo)

I have just always liked it because of the history that it has, and how it was found by Bilbo in The Hobbit, and then passed down to Frodo in the LOTR. I like how it is something consistant that draws the two stories together, and just to add, I like how it helps Sam defeat Shelob

I'd say Gurthang because I like Turin and it (along with Anguirel) is the most powerful sword ever in ME.

I'm not sure I want to have any of the named weapons from Middle Earth.
Too many of their owners died premature deaths carrying them.

I think that I wouild pick Grond the legendary mace of Sauron. He made it himself and he killed Elendil and Gil-Galad with it. Not only were they both kings but they were also his two worst enemies at the time. Also Grond was the name of the battering ram that was used to break the gates of Minas Tirith. Awsome. Both of these are in the movies but I don't think that they name them. Grond is my weapon of choice.

In the books Grond was the Hammer of the Underworld, the mace of Morgoth. Sauron had his own mace and it was not Grond. That weapon was probably lost in the War of Wrath and the breaking of Thangorodrim. It says no where in any encylopedia that Grond was wielded by Sauron, or in the Weapons and Warfare book. He probably just made his own mace.

I'd go with Anglachel too. Hard to beat a talking sword from outer space.
