I’d probably say Oryx.
If it was based on their strengths at the time when we fought them Oryx would probably handily win.
If it wasn’t I’d say it’d be in Oryx’s favor if he could just retreat like he did at the end of the Taken King campaign and force the battle into his throne world.
The throne world gives him a huge advantage especially since I think, as a follower of the darkness, Nezarec would obey the sword logic and just empower Oryx there

I'd like to point out that we beat oryx (our 1st major threat) 2 times in the campaign. Compared to now, we would be considerably weaker. We also beat him at full strength. Nezarec was killed by Savathun, but only because she tricked him. When we fought him, he was at probably 1% of his original strength. Keep in mind, Nezarec was already incredibly powerful and well established before he joined the Witness. Meanwhile the krill siblings were nothing before the Witness.

I’m no lore scholar, but wasn’t the only reason we were able to defeat Oryx in his throne world because we brought in logic that was counter to the darkness? How would Nezarec be able to accomplish such a thing in an area that bends to Oryx’s will until he’s beaten when his power is also derived from the sword logic and the darkness? Nezarec’s crazy powerful, but all Oryx has to do is not get immediately killed and then retreat into his throne world either leading to a stalemate or dragging the fight in there too. Just where my thought process went. Again, I’m not a lore scholar

Oryxs throneworld doesn’t give him an advantage, it evens the playing field. That’s why the Vex invasion was such a problem, it gave them power despite them not actually having it. It just shows his dedication to it. Which is why the Winnower calls him his main man.
