This is a tough one, seeing as both are children on the Big Three, and are obviously powerful already in comparison to other demigods. I don't want to make up a fight, so I'm just going to analyze their skill set and predict an outcome, so here we go!

Let's start off simple. Both Percy and Thalia are skilled with weapons, seeing as Percy can sword fight and Thalia is more into bows and arrows. Not the most powerful weapon, but if used correctly, can cause serious damage. Bows and arrows can be used both in long and short distance fighting, so Thalia has the advantage. She also has the aegis, which can be used a sword, in her case, in case Percy somehow miraculously gets up close to her. Thalia could always use Aerokinesis to knock Percy's sword away or counter Percy's water based attacks, but there hasn't been solid evidence that she actually has good power over the wind.

There is also a chance she could use lightning, but seeing as how much time it takes to summon it, Percy could easily defeat her with an opening. Thalia's main problem will be Percy's limited ability of geokinesis, which can allow him to summon earthquakes. Thalia has always been seen as reluctant to fly, and an earthquake could cause big trouble to Thalia and potentially allow Percy to reveal an opening in her defense and defeat her.

Personally, I feel Percy is more likely to win this fight although Thalia stands a decent chance. It really depends a lot on the terrain and at what point in time this fight takes place. I'm betting this is at the present, so both know how to fight very well. If the fight is near a beach somewhere near water, then Percy can heal himself, which gives him another advantage. Thalia can't heal so she's got a disadvantage. It doesn't even need to be near water because Percy has the power to summon it, though it would require lots of extra strength.

Thalia has power over the Mist, but has little control over it. Percy, on the other hand, may have difficulty dodging lighting, seeing as water conducts electricity and he is the son of the freaking sea god. Percy can cause earthquakes and create hurricanes, though, so he could render many of Thalia's abilities useless, since arrows are useless against hurricanes, especially ones strong enough to make Hyperion stumble backwards and even extinguish his flames. Percy was able to easily survive a lightning bolt from Jason and recover quickly enough to continue the fight, so even with her powers, it will be quite a challenge to defeat Percy. I am fairly certain that Jason's powers over electricity and air are currently stronger than Thalia's because she is kind of out of practice with her powers.

I think that a bolt summoned by children of Zeus isn't as powerful as an actual real bolt either because when Thalia summoned her bolts, they didn't do near as much damage as a realistic bolt would. This is just an assumption but even if Thalia's bolts were that strong, we have a decent amount of evidence to say that Percy can survive them without much effort as proven in The Titan's Curse and Mark of Athena. Also, Thalia can only summon one or two lightning bolts without tiring similar to that of Jason while Percy can continuously attack Thalia with water and air based attacks without tiring too much. And because summoning a lightning bolt will take time and effort, Percy can keep on pressuring Thalia with his attacks to prevent her from summoning a bolt.

So, in conclusion to this long explanation on who I think would win, I feel like Percy would win because, despite some disadvantages in range and limited electricity (hurricanes). It really depends on the terrain and at which point in time from which they are battling, let it be after Thalia was a tree, or sometime in Trials of Apollo.
