Gothmog didn't wield a sword, but a black axe. I suppose it was black from being burned, lol.
I have no idea who would win, but Gothmog was 'High Captain' of Angband', meaning, I assume, that he lead it's armies into battle. The interesting thing to note, though, is as of The battle of Sudden Flame, when Glaurung became fully mature, HE seems to be the one that is at the forefront of each of Morgoth's battles from that point on: the 4th battle; versus Maedhros' forces in the 5th battle; Wiping up West Beleriand & taking out both Nargothrond & Bethril; Also, in the forefront of the sacking of Gondolin.
So, it would appear Morgoth saw Glaurung as a mightier 'weapon' in battle than even the Lord of the Balrogs.
I guess that shows who Tolkien (through Morgoth) thought was mightier: Glaurung.

On one angle it's difficult because both are fire beings in a sense. But,
