This is kinda complicated as there can be many scenarios:

1) All Out Fight: In this case even the other six demigods put together would be no match to Percy's superior power (tough fight though). So Percy can easily pwn Annabeth one on one. Even if Annabeth knows all of his powers, there is no way she can counter them. That would depend on the environment around.

2)  Arena duel: I think it would be a tie because Annabeth has experience and knows all of Percy's moves and also because Percy has superior strength, stamina and swordfighting skill (He, and not Annabeth was held equivalent to Luke). Plus the books give very little evidence about Annabeth's swordfighting skills, though she's sorta decent. So if she uses a knife, that can bring the duel to a tie... Unless Percy catches her in a surprise move.

3) Motives: If Percy and Annabeth were born enemies and never had a relationship, Percy would completely dominate the battle. Also keep in mind that in the books, they would never want to fight each other.  In a play fight, Percy would obviously let Annabeth win.

So please think about these views. Both characters are good fighers, but Percy's feats are far more impressive, so I choose Percy.
