Anglachel/Gurthang is really an interesting weapon, and I'm sure it would have done much good in Middle-Earth if not for Eol's bitterness. However, the fact that it was the one used by Turin to kill his own friend Beleg is very disturbing.
I'd stick with Orcrist and Glamdring instead. It's amazing that they were created during the First Age in Gondolin yet they were still around for Thorin Oakenshield and Gandalf (respectively) to wield during the Third Age.
