Personally I had more fun with as a shaska cav then as elite scimmy or arab cav sword.

Stat wise, speed isn't very important on horseback and the extra 3 length and fairly decent stab more then makes up for the extra point of damage from the elite scimmy.  Correct me if im wrong on this, but you'll also get more damage from speed bonus with a slow weapon vs a faster one.

As others have stated, the Arabian straight sword is also a good,  cheap option for an archer/HA side arm which I mostly use myself.

My favorite sword for 1h cav has always been the knightly arming sword.

Good cut, good pierce, ok speed, great range.

It is effective on or off a horse, can deliver excellent swing and stab attacks, and is pretty widely available as a MW weapon.
