1- What weapons to use for melee giants before starting lances? Dual blunts or high lander claymore? Also any thoughts on making an ego or special upgrading?

2- Which upgrade sequence is generally better for the basic 5 upgrades of a weapon? (such as the highest damage, critical, balance etc.)

3- In some other threads it has been said that ego weapons can be repaired at 100% rate. How is it possible?

1)HLC -- gives you extra smash bonus and you can easily reach 80% balance if you rank up sword mastery as well. Dual blunts are fun too but they have low balance, and I find it difficult to use for early level giants.

Special Upgraded KL would be much better later on, but having a broad-axe ego for Giant Fullswing is also good.

2)385 HLC gives you the most max damage
(90/25/40/50/80) + 100gem upgrades

Total max attk +39
Crit + 23
Dura - 2

3)Ego weapons are designed to be 100% rate. For example, if you have a broad axe ego, you need other 100 prof'd broad axe to repair for full 100% rate of your ego axe.

Broad axes are difficult to find. It's more efficient to buy NX with gold and buy the Spirit Blessing potions.
Also, based broad stick ego.
