What weapon should I use Dark Souls 1?

Best all around is claymore. The range, damage, weight, and moveset makes it too good. Extremely versatile so it can be used 1H or 2H effectively. In PVE, the damage is good enough to not be affected much by defense and the speed is quick enough to get some safe hits.

What should I upgrade first in Dark Souls?

Best is to either go strength or Dex, even for a first playthrough. The game has more than enough replay value to do a run with either. If you go with a dex build, leveling up strength to 14 or 16 will allow you to use most dex weapons. The uchigatana can be gotten very early in the game and is a great weapon to use.
