Imposing a totally arbitrary limit on myself, if I was picking a real weapon from some point in history, I'd go with either an Épée from 1600-1750 France, or a Ninjato from Medieval Japan, just because I'm a pansy and, if in a fight to the death, I want something light and really deadly.
With fantasy stuff thrown in, I don't think you can beat an Infinity Plus One Sword from your average fantasy story.
Although, Charlemagne or Julius Caesar's swords would be awesome to own as well.

spears are meant first and foremost for thrusting, but if that's all your doing with it you are not using it well. depending on the head, you can slash or crush enemies. because of its long reach it can strike from (funny enough) beyond the reach of the exact weapons you preferred over it. it can be swung in wide arcs and around the user, knocking back close quarters combatants and intimidating those that would try to enter its reach. (if they can be intimidated.) it can also be used like a staff where both ends can be used effectively in combat. its only true flaw is in tight spaces, which is what i think you meant. it is hampered by tight hallways, small rooms and when you are surrounded by large numbers and/or aren't strong enough to knock them back.
personally, i prefer the mace, because its effective on most targets, including undead. it has little demand for maintenance/replacement unlike a sword or wood weapon, and its weighted head means that if you can swing it effectively, you don't need as much effort to get destructive force.
A knife in my side pocket and my scooter tied up so it doesn't swing around on it's own.
I use the scooter as a sword bat thing and when stuf gets harry cut the strings wit the knife and scoot away.

For real melee weapons, I already own all of my favorites... and I'd be hard-pressed to choose between my Hanwei rapier, my custom katana, or my boar spear.
Though I suppose the one I use most would be a considered a crowbar. Technically that would be a misnomer, though... it's three feet long, and it's called a wrecking bar.
As for what I want... lightsaber. Orange blade, dual-phase for a 90cm setting and a 150cm setting. [/starwarsgeek]

In a game, probably a scythe.
In real life, either some sort of short sword/kodachi(Possibly 2 to dual wield)...or just a simple metal baseball bat.
