If you have enough spare EU then Nano Saber, when charged it can insta-kill Nano Armor and does 10 hearts damage. If you don't have a large supply then probably Red Matter Sword, since the Saber only does 1 heart of damage when not charged. Also take into account the Red Matter Sword's AoE ability.

It all really comes down to one question:

Are you a scientist or an alchemist?

For the scientist - The Nano Saber does more damage and will smite any foe who dares challenge you with Nano Armor, but it lets you down when it acts like a spoiled child and stops working once it runs out of sweet, sweet EU. It does, however, sound cooler, but more importantly it FLASHES RAINBOWS. If it flashes, then it becomes science.

For the alchemist - The Red Matter Sword does a fixed 7-heart damage, no need for recharging. You also get an area-of-effect ability, but that demands glowstone which is quite expensive. No need to worry though, because the Red Matter Sword automatically makes you posh since "Red Matter" sounds like some fancy magic lah-de-dah-look-at-me-I'm-rich material.
