A cavalry sabre (right hand) and dagger (left).
Fast, and able to pierce most defenses, the dagger can also be thrown accuratly for a distance of a few meters.
Or two karambits.
I know how to use them close quaters, and they go well with silat (martial arts) training

Well, I'd have to go for a modified Okatana. Instead of the standard curve it would just have a straight blade, still single edged.
My reasons? Well, drawing and sheathing would be made slightly simpler, and fit more towards my favorite sword style, Iaijutsu, and with the lengthened blade my reach would be longer. I'd be able to use one hand, obviously, making dual weilding plausible as long as I can train in it.
Mainly, I'd take about any variation of a Katana, so long as it was straight edge.
That or a Katana/Rapier combo
the elegance of the hilt of a rapier with the light, destructive force of a katana.

A baseball bat. Metal preferred. Or brass knuckles.
If I were fighting against someone else with a melee weapon I would use a riot shield with a baton.

Polearm. A generally more effective infantry combat weapon than the sword, it served as the M16 to the sword's Beretta, to put it in G.I. terms. Also acceptable would be to call it the Gewehr 43 or Mauser Karabiner 98 to the sword's Luger or Walther. Or the AK-47 to the sword's whatever 9mm handgun you'd carry just in case things went south for your Ak. Aside from the obvious defensive advantages, a weapon like that could get some real momentum going with a solid swing, not to mention the obvious stabby possibilities. Damage would be done, one way or another.
I would choose a flailing weapon. Like this, only duel wield.
I choose the Falx, a large, two-handed sword wielded by Dacian tribesmen during the period of Roman expansion. Its edge is on the inward curve to give the point more striking power, and looks generally badass.
Impractically, I would choose Terminator armor with a power fist and assault cannon.
"A Katar is a type of short punching sword that is used to make swift and quick attacks. It is notable for its horizontal hand grip, which results in the blade of the sword sitting above the user's knuckles. Three other examples of bladed weapons native and unique to India are the Khanda, Urumi and Pata."
If you ever read the Night Angel Trilogy or have seen ACs' hidden blades, you get the picture.
