can anyone tell me what's the difference between the light vs heavy swords on an infantry unit?

It's not "swords", it's "weapon type". To answer the question, nothing.

Yeah, it is merely a designation that helps AI know what to recruit. Certain factions are scripted to recruit certain units AFAIK. That "balanced caesar" or "builder stalin", etc AI personalities thing in desc_strat may influence AI recruitment.

EDIT: oh, you meant the weapons? Hmm, beats me. I do know vanilla blacksmith buildings would first upgrade the light weapons, and then heavy. In EB, there is only one level of a blacksmith.
