It's so obviously Artemis. She is the greatest huntress to ever walk the Earth. ...Whereas Ares has only one gear: fight. He would probably dive head first into a full out war with the Giants without thinking. He is over-confident, and his arrogance would get him bested many times during a fight with Artemis. My dear friend, do you think Ares/Mars is so easy to beat? Don't you remember how he defeated Luke, the "best swordsman" of Camp Half-Blood?

I personally feel Artemis would win in a fight to the death. But in a strategic game, I feel Ares would win. After seeing Mars in the Heroes of Olympus, my opinion about Ares/Mars has improved significantly. In fact, Mars is my favourite Roman god in the Riordan books. Yet it is also stated that if Luke hadn't gotten over-confident, he could have easily beaten him. Ares toys with people, and underestimates them and Artemis isn't a goddess to be underestimated. I agree that if she fought Mars instead of Ares, he would win, but it's Ares we're talking about and I don't think he would have a chance.
