To those who play most/all weapons, which has the best gameplay?

I think we can all agree that all weapons have some problems that could be fixed but in their current iterations, which one offers the best gameplay (most engaging, most rewarding) for you?

I'll start by saying that everything about hunting horn just works and is very enjoyable to play (Zoh Shia ftw). Also, sword and shield with its varied move set and great defensive options makes for very engaging hunts. Personally, despite its problems, charge blade still draws me back in and I find chainsawing through monsters' openings with phial explosions very satisfying.
