Impossible to tell. Both do the exact same thing in terms of effectiveness. For a human, a lightsaber works better.
For an Elite, a sword does better. Each race's anatomy is different, and this effects how meelee weapons work for certain individuals, especially around the wrist/hand area.
The sword is designed specifically for very tall creatures with two fingers and a thumb, all of them much, much longer then could comfortably handle a saber hilt. An Elite would be sloppy holding a tiny lightsaber.
Conversly, a human with a large sword would be sloppy as well.
A human vs human fight where one has a lightsaber and the other a sword, the saber wins.
Elite v. Elite, but same parameters, the sword would win.
Now a human v. Elite with saber and sword, the Elite would win.
Come to think of it, the Jedi/Sith orders don't make any sense. Lightsabers are basically swords that glow. They're designed for a normal sized human, not any other kind of creature. Yet thousands of creatures oin the orders.
