This discussion is rediculous in my opinion... because it all depends on the build you are using....
If you go w/e with a conjure spell (also good to have on hand for fighting warriors and such) = definitely an elemental sword
If you have an adrenaline intensive build (10adren req skills) = furious
If you just want consistant damage and you dont mind swapping/healing = vamp (please no mending... :P )
If you want an all around no hassle mod which increases damage slightly = sundering
If you feel that the conditions you are using need to be extended = condition mod (although I would not recommend this one...your target should be dead before the extended time starts to kick in...on a cruel mod especially)
edit: forgot zealous....wonder why...oh yeah...never use it...except for solo FOW runs... kaolin sword ftw

firey/icy/shocking/ebon sword vs. warriors..
furious/sundering/vamp for everything else
zealous...eh, warriors shouldnt have energy problems
mallyx's edge is a nicer skin but i like sundering on swords and furious for axes..
forgotten sword..i absolutley hate it. its so tiny i could break it over my knee...but thats my opinion.

Zealous mod is by far my favourite dutch masterr
furious is meh - would be so cool if they made it a 20% chance because 10% sucks a bit...
vamp is as always awsome
elemental always good vs wars
and sundering I generally don't use - even though it's a fairly nice mod for easy going PvE lol...but I don't PvE that much

In case you were wondering about the stats
~~~~sundering/vamp ~~~~~~~~~
lets say we are attacking a 100 armour vs physical (80 vs ele) warrior and we hit him 5 times....with average base damage of 30 (consistant)
sundering= (1/5 hits with 20%) -15,-15,-15,-15,-21 = -81 damage
vamp= (always 3 damage) -18,-18,-18,-18,-18,= -90 damage
on a level 60 armour target (monk etc...)
sundering= (1/5 hits with 20%) -30,-30,-30,-30,-37 = -157 damage
vamp= (always 3 damage) -33,-33,-33,-33,-33,= -165 damage
~~~~elemental~~~~~~~
on the same warrior with an elemental weapon= -21,-21,-21,-21,-21,= 105 (greater than vamp and sunder)
~~~furious~~~~
1 out of 10 hits with your sword will give you 50pts instead of 25... NOT the same as a strike of adrn...
for a more detailed description of how adrn. works see this site
http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Adrenaline
~~~~zealous~~~
9 seconds attacking at normal sword speed (1.33 sec)
with zealous mod= 1pip of energy (1pt /3sec) and 7 hits with the sword ....3e+ =10 energy gain
without = 2pips .....= 6 energy gain
~~~~cruel (other conditions as well)~~~~~
gash = 17 seconds of deep wound (12swdmnshp) without cruel mod.... 23 with cruel mod...
things to consider:
vamp: overall pretty good damage
ele: will do well against wars obviously but not other classes (combined with conjure spell for good damage)
sunder: its about chance...which means it could to more damage than above...or it could do less..
furious: also about chance...but only 10%..the overall gain is not impressive...needs a buff imho
cruel: 5 more seconds of deep wound? he should be dead within 17..so..meh
zealous: of course depends on build ...but usually wars arent energy intensive
vamp wins out on damage every time.... its just annoying to keep health up/switch weapons

Furious is generally going to be more useful than sundering. If you did some testing on mods like I did you would find out that cruel is better for a good deep wound and furiouse is good to build up adrenaline or pump it up.Cruel though will give enough of a deep to be satisfactory and it is at 33%Sword mods CruelI have tested it in RA,TAand AB.I have used cruel on axes as well and it can pretty good and doing good deep wounds.
