Any sword, ever. It's a sword damage bonus, so any sword gets a boost. There's no distinction between "good swords" and "good swords that like damage bonuses", so your typical sword fare applies.

OP y u not specific enough ; o;
...if you're talking about 'swords that look good', the obvious answer is Barbarous Thorn Blade and Warmaster Rocket Hammer.

Otherwise, refer to a generic sword guide. Bopp is always good at this sort of thing.

okay, I'll bite

Braatax, the point is that this armor of yours, while great, has nothing to do with your question. You're just asking, "Which two swords should I use?" The answer is any two of piercing, elemental, and shadow. See my sword guide if you like.

I think that we're all a little confused (or at least I am) of how you got Snarbolax armor without having swords. Are you a gunner or bomber, who is just now switching to swords? Or did you buy Snarbolax unbound from someone? I don't recommend that. It's expensive, and it ruins the enjoyment of getting it for yourself.

Or maybe I should take a step back, and tell you (on the off chance that you don't know) that Snarbolax armor can be crafted only in the Shadow Lairs.

Barbarous Thorn Blade and Acheron.
Final Flourish and Gran Faust.
Furious Flamberge and - oh wait, we're all out of shadow swords now.

Gran Faust is a slow two-swing, and has lots of knockback as well as curse infliction ability, but its charge has only one large projectile (unlike Divine Avenger's three), self-curse on the charge, and double the charge time of its elemental counterpart. However, due to the large range of the swipe and the fact that most people don't bother with shadow resistance, it does quite well in t3 Lockdown. Acheron has a long line of shadow-damage explosions, is three-swing, faster to both attack and charge, looks vaguely Japanese for any weeaboo tendencies you wish to indulge, and comes with a sheath as a bonus. The drawback is that the damage area of the standard attack is fairly small and directly in front of the user, not to the sides - but the charge attack more than makes up for it. In addition, the Acheron recipes are all available at original price from Hall of Heroes, whilst Faust and Gran Faust will require either Clockworks diving or paying a surcharge in AH. I would go with the Acheron as a good general purpose sword, unless you plan on doing an awful lot of RJP runs (in which case get the 4* Faust) or like t3 PvP (in which case, go for Gran Faust).

As for a piercing sword, get a Final Flourish or Barbarous Thorn Blade. The only difference lies in the charge attack and cost to get the recipes. Final Flourish deals a lot of damage over a small area, good for skewering Trojans if you feel so inclined. It also trails sparkly pixie dust. Barbarous Thorn Blade has a glowy red tip you can use to pretend to be a wizard if you switch out fast with an elemental brandish, as well as a hologram Snarbolax charge which noms down on a large area of enemies. This is excellent in PvP for finding Recons if you find yourself without a bomb. Furious Flamberge and Fearless Rigadoon are slightly less powerful versions of the Final Flourish, trading off some damage for a small chance of a not-very-powerful status. I wouldn't bother with them unless you a) want every sword of the game, b) like that 'donnnng' noise of a successful stun, or c) happen to be a pyro who wants every single weapon used to set stuff on fire.

Also, get Skolver before Snarbolax. You want to walk before you dive into the depths of poison spike pits. (Trust me on this.)
