For when she's a Newborn, defintiely Bella. She knows how to fight, and she's a lot stroner than him. Afterwards though, Idk who would win in a fight. Edward relies on his mind reading a lot, so not being able to use that might give Bella the edge to beat Edward. As for who's ability is more important, the below Wikia contributor is right. Bella's defensive telepathy is far stronger than Edward's gift and nullifies the vast majority of all special vampire powers.
