Weapon recommendation

Gimme a weapon (EXCLUDING Colossal weapons, Great Swords, UGS, Shields, Staffs, Seals, and iron balls/star fists) and I'll play the game+DLC with nothing but it. I'd prefer one with a fancy ash of war if possible for style as well, but it's not mandatory.

Also, just for the fun of it, give me a weapon level cap as well
