The unique weapons are usually not quite as good as weapons you can make yourself, the most damaging weapon would be a Dragonbone one or with a frost enchant Stalhrim. Becuse of the swing speed warhammers, greatswords and waraxes probably have around the same dps. The perks for more damage (critical, bleed etc) probably work out about the same too (although it is hard to tell).

The Bloodskal Blade is interesting as it can fire a wave of energy but its base damage isn't that good, the Champion's Cudgel is pretty strong but can't be improved. The Drainblood Battleaxe look cool (kinda), as does the Rueful Axe but the swing speed is incredibly slow.
