For everyday carry you would have to go with the Japanese swords. The Katana for main use and the Wakizashi for indoor use. The Wakizashi was made for use indoors where the Katana would be hampered by narrower corridors.

Just for style points I'd rather carry a Rapier (Three Musketeers era). They were some of the most elegant, beautiful swords ever made. The stabbing style would work well indoors and the advantage of free movement and speed would help a lot against someone with a big heavy sword. However against numerous opponents having to pull it free of a successful thrust could prove fatal.
