Is Artorias straight sword good?

It does 160 base damage, half physical and half magical and also scales with stats. It also counts as a Divine weapon and is excellent for exploring the Catacombs early, before you even unlock the Divine Ember. The stat scaling is rank C and is not that good, but the base damage on the sword makes up for it.

Is Astora's straight sword worth it?

It's actually pretty good, depending on how and when you're going to use it. That it's obtainable so early, and most enemies then will have very poor magic defense make it pretty effective early on. Plus, it's easy to obtain the materials to level it up a bit to keep it effective until you can make something better.

Is The Lothric Knight Sword better than the longsword?

I personally use the Lothric Knight Sword over the Longsword, solely because of the slightly longer reach. It only costs around 10% more stamina per swing even though the Longsword will have slightly higher AR. All in all, the LKS is just easier to use in PVP and has better scaling. Longsword is a close second though.
