It basically depends on your personal preference. The Daisho's attack rate is slightly slower than some other weapons out there but it more than makes up for it with the damage the finishing move (katana+wakizashi) dishes out, if you can time it correctly. Otherwise most enemies will block or interrupt you before you can finish the move.

If you have 519 gems however you might want to consider buying the Composite Sword which is also a favorite among many players because of its range, animation and enchantment.

As far as getting Shogun's weapon is concerned you can rematch him almost immediately after you first defeat him, provided your equipment is upgraded. Also the Daisho and Shogun's Katana have the same attack animations so if you are getting Shogun's weapon I'd say it's best to save gems for something else instead of the Daisho (unless you want it for a collector/novelty reason)
