I have no idea. I suspect if by "prime" you mean the same age, relatively, then I'd pick Arutha, because he started studying the sword at an earlier age.
In any event, I'd probably bet Arutha simply because he's about the best around. Erik has amazing strength, so if he connects, he's taking off body parts, but Arutha probably could stay away.
Best, R.E.F.
