Blade Stainless

Are carbon steel or stainless steel knives better ?
I’ve heard alot of things from alot of people. Stainless steel won’t rust, and is much harder, but doesn’t hold as good of an edge. Carbon steel is flexible for use in longer knives and swords, can hold a better edge, but can’t take as much of a beating. I think I side with a good 440 C Stainless Steel blade, but that’s just me. What do you think?
Carbon steel when properly hardened and tempered is miles above stainless in all aspects except rust prevention. I dry my carbon blade and wipe it down with an oil cloth. It is still sharp and rust free. By the way it is circa 1950. Stainless will rust, just not as fast as carbon steel.
