Percy and Thalia are both physically strong and skilled. They both have powers and great fighting experience. However, I feel Percy is better at high-pressure high-stakes battles compared to Thalia.

Percy managed to keep his head:

- against Procrustes as a twelve-year old boy

- against the Nemean lion

-against Kronos at Olympus

- disarmed and practically alone, against Chrysaor and his band of pirates (with some team support)

Thalia:

- almost got the Ophiotaurus killed under Luke's manipulations

- wasn't able to dodge Hera's statue at Olympus (this might be Hera's fault but not clearly specified)

- got owned by a bound and gagged Reyna

- didn't perform to her full potential against Orion (I strongly believe she is stronger than Hylla and Reyna)

Going by these feats, I'd vote for Percy.
