So, someone please tell me what the best single handed sword or mace is in the game.... ???
blades sword is the best for me. if you use the console commands to increase your smithing ability you can turn it into(or any other weapon for that matter) a one hit kill.
I carry two just for the decapitation moves.

In my opinion these are the answers to your question
The best single handed sword well that is the Daedric Sword (legendary) has a damage of 72. Blades Sword (legendary) is only 63 damage (although having what appears to be a katana is kinda cool).
as for Maces well
Mace of Molag Bal has a damage of 67 (legendary) and has its magical bonuses
Don't know much other maces sorry.
