The correct answer to this question is whoever Uncle Rick wants to win at that point in time.

But imo, it's pretty much even. Percy seems to have more experience fighting immortals and has been shown to be able to think of his feet if the situation demands it whereas Jason hasn't really done that, prefering to be a graduate of the Horus school of hitting-things-till-they-die. (Granted, he is very good at it)

Jason on the other hand has shown to be very skilled, holding his own against Encealadeus (however you spell his name) by himself and effectively fighting with the wooden board in the wolf house, showing his fighting prowess when he doesn't have his sword (Percy has problems with that, fighting without riptide I mean).

Also 8th, just saying but there is a difference between being mature and being deadpan. In the same way that Bravery is not fearlessness, as in the absence of fear is not courage- lack of emotion most of the time is not maturity. Yes, Percy likes to make jokes and is often not serious but he knows when to joke and when to be serious--it's a conscious choice--while Jason is just serious most of the time.

And even then, Jason has a immature side, being arrogant and prideful (which thinking back, should've been his fatal flaw but eh) while Percy is mostly humble and has shown times where he doubts his abilities.

But eh. Believe as you will. It's not my job to convince you to change your opinion.
