Long sword is a great weapon, its just don't use it against Ceadeus, trust me it sucks. And as for the Spirit guage beware of plessies spin/wyvern tail swing. It supposivly wasn't fixed in mh3u so it can hit you and do full damage from his feet to the tip of his tail. I wouldn't recomend the bow, it is very weak and unless all you do is do that o triple charge then a then yea, it sucks. Depending on its element it does better damage, but not good for g rank. Switch axe for its range speed and strength does the most raw damage only tied with the hammer and maybe the hunting horn. Use the switch axe in high rank and on elderdragons. The hammer is hard when fighting Brachy and elders but is good at plessie and well some others. Gunlance is good, but sucks against gigginox and brachy. Lance is like the weaker version of the gunlance but with better stabbing controls. Bowguns are good at everything but g rank solo, and I defentilly do not recomend Great Sword. It is slow and takes sharpness away when blocking. The hammer is just as strong and does alot more damage over time. Sword and sheild sucks, I haven't really played it on g rank, but don't solo with it. Dual blades are good if you have narga armor.

I have never been able to play multi and I am stuck on Shock on tundra G rank quest, and so far I defentilly recomend long sword, Switch axe for sure if you do axe mode alot, and light bowguns are all decent ones.
