Generally speaking, you should wait.
With the weapons in this game, there are pros and cons to each one, so there is no clear "best" or "worst." You could even play through the game without ever upgrading if you really wanted to.
I remember getting Lightning's Axis Blade fairly early in the game. That one is worth upgrading and keeping in my opinion.
