Here's how I'd rank them in total power/versatility:
Mjolnir > Sword of Power > Ebony Blade > Creation Blades
Please note, this isn't strictly on durability, in which case Mjolnir would be a touch lower. But nothing this side of abstract has its versatility feats. Creation Blades could do some esoteric things, but most of their feats were fairly straightforward. Thus the low ranking. But you can't go wrong with any of them.
We may be forgetting 1-2 others.

Marvel UK was amazing in the 90s.

Unless you're talking about personal preference, which I totally understand.
Just by the by. I take "melee weapon" to purely mean something used for striking/stabbing/cutting, so something like Ronan's universal weapon, being used purely as a hammer, not energy mapulation device... does it really belong here? In this sense, Thunderstrike, Stormbreaker and Mjolnir are pretty much equal, matching Hercules's mace as well.
Even Wolverine's claws do more damage in a strictly melee sense than some of these other weapons.
Anyone remember a guy called Shatterfist? his gloves were pretty sweet for fighting.

Paraphrasing PG's post from last page, Mjolnir has absorbed magical energy, psychic energy, basically all other types of energy as well (including up to Skyfather-level attacks that were literally from Odin), opened dimensional portals, created anti-matter, gives you control over the weather on a planetary scale, can transmute elements, and grants the bearer the power of Thor, allows for FTL travel, etc. etc.
Yes, the EB has done a couple things that Mjolnir can't or hasn't. And it's more durable and has better cutting ability in a purely melee sense. It's very, very close overall. But it's not disrespect to place Mjolnir above it in terms of total usefulness.
