Which sword enchantments are worth it and which aren't?

Villager trading hall is finally running. For a main sword, is sharpness always better than smite, and are things like knockback actually a downside?

Assuming Minecraft: Worth it: Sharpness, Unbreaking, Mending, Looting. Fire Aspect is a nice extra, and on Java Sweeping Edge is great for crowds. Skip: Smite and Bane of Arthropods. They block Sharpness and only help against one mob type. Knockback is personal taste, it gets annoying when you're trying to finish something off and keep shoving it away. Mending is the one people skip early and regret.
