In Nexus, I think blade recovery was this (from fastest to slowest):
Elf2
LB, Elf, LB2, Fuhjin, Raijin
Moonlight, Syura
LB3
Taros
I'm not completely sure about that though, it's only from what I recall. I'm also not completely sure if it's still applicable to Last Raven, some of the blades may have moved up or down a notch (also the Elf3 and the LB4 aren't there).
About the blade swing though, I think HeavenFlame got it right. It seems that the lighweight arms with a lower blade aptitude than the Loris get out swings faster, but they have much much weaker damage. On the other hand, Loris is on par with some of the midweight arms for blade swing speed, but because of it's blade aptitude statistic, when it lands a hit with a blade, it hurts. Maybe reasoning for this stems from the swing's momentum: when the AC has lightweight arms, there's less mass behind the swing, so the end force is much less. Conversely, when the AC has more mass, that translates to a greater end result. Sounds reasonable enough.
Upon further inspection, it looks like blading is one of those things that From got right, aside from the fact that they removed any semblance of tracking.
Too bad nobody uses it much anymore.
