@lukehero: @thenaughtytitan: Scans will actually be put up with this in the next few days/weeks. Still using a cell phone to post.
There Is a good case to be made for Jason taking a majority in this fight. With standard gear. Prep is key.
(And, @Allstarsuperman: can confirm that I am not a fanboy)
The usual categories for a battle are
Skill
Power/damage
Speed/evasion
Tactics/intelligence
Durability/equipment/stamina
Skill-
This goes to Daredevil. He was mainly taught by Stick, who was in a skill class so far above Wolverine that he could stomp him at his most imposing with just nerve strikes. This is different than being trained by Shiva, whose skill is a genetic gift that only she and her daughter have been shown to naturally have. Jason, Bruce, and the rest of the bats can train with Cass all their lives and never come close to her inherited capability for body reading.
But, what about Jason One Shot of Shiva.
That feat was explained in a hand wave caption that by its logic means that skill is meaningless if you know the magic karate chop of awesome. The same magic karate chop of awesome that could be used against any high tier fighter anywhere. The same karate chop of awesome that would become a full no limit fallacy if used repeatedly.
Which does not matter since EVERY defeat that Shiva has ever suffered was Steve Urkeled into nothingness by the greatest comic book writer of all time.
James Tynion, Fourth of his name. Begetter of the Jason One Shot.
Power/Damage-
This goes to Jason. His standard gear just does more damage. A lot more.
His first issue in the latest Red Hood has a one shot of Batman with a massive nipple tazer.
The same titty tazer one shots a 5+ ton class Artemis with only a partial charge.
Toss in late caliber handguns, bombs, batarangs, knives, and the like, and Jason can just put out a lot more damage than Matt.
Speed/evasion-
Matt wins this, but not by a whole lot. Matt is closer to Cass in level of agility, but is not quite as skilled in combat. His radar can locate focal points and weaknesses in opponents that enable him to take out enemies far out of his normal weight class. But, every street leveled does this, including Jason. Weaving around gunfire is standard, but Matt has been able to do with fists and sticks what most Bats use their pocket arsenals for. (Bruce and Cass are exceptions)
Tactics/intelligence-
Jason has just had a better record overall with tactics.
The best example of street smart quick thinking comes from a fairly famous Superman story where Jason Todd one shots Mongol in the fortress of solitude.
I am being hyperbolic, but the feat does demonstrate a talent for quick thinking that has only been developed more in the areas of prep.
Both are underrated for their intellect, except Jason is more experienced with preparation for opponents on Daredevil's level.
Jason designed his Red Hood persona specifically to fight and beat heroes like Batman/Green Arrow/Robin/And Nivhtwing. He prepped for years to deal with each member of the Bat family. After each defeat or setback, he augmented his gear to beat the street level heroes that he might go against.
Bat Bunny kicked him around too much, titty tazers FTW.
Matt may use his armor, but Jason uses an exoskeleton from Japanese robot fighting tournaments to stand a chance against Cassandra Cain in Batman and Robin Eternal. After he gets beat by Bane and Azrael, he later sports his new bat crest electric titjob.
Durability/equipmemt/stamina-
Jason wins on durability and equipment, but loses hard on stamina. He does not have the feats.
How the fight plays out:
Daredevil will try to use hit and run attacks knowing from his super senses that Jason either knows or suspects that he is blind.
Jason will use his better knowledge of Bludhaven (a part of Gotham City) to negate some of Daredevil's speed and mobility advantages.
Jason is a good deal more skilled than Frank, but a worse shot. So, he will not hit anything with bullets. And, Jason would not expect to from his many fight with Bats and other bullet timers. Bullets would only be useful to herd.
The fight either ends with Daredevil being able to hit enough nerve strikes through gaps in Jason's armor, or Jason catching Daredevil with his shock tits. Or gas. Or fear toxin to disorient. Or he just sets off a bunch of grenades when Matt gets close.
Even Babs in standard gear can get up from having a building blown up around her in New 52. Daredevil cannot survive a pumpkin bomb exploding at less than five feet from him. Jason and Bruce can survive RPGs going off at point blank range.
Morals off, Plot Armor off, Jason can win this through using his dominating durability edge and explosive weapons.
And electric boobies.
