But we're talking pure itemization here, not skill.

Skill should not be involved in this at all. Two characters monk/warrior.

Face tanking. Auto attacking, using discs and other melee abilities, and letting RNG and mitigation sort the rest.

Which would win by how much?

For sure, if that's its own separate conversation within the larger discussion. It is interesting in its own right, similar to raid NPC 1v1s that were showcased a while back.

The title does ask though, which class benefits the most? Those benefits apply to all aspects of the game, not just PvP but PvE. And gear progression can't be reduced to 1v1 hit or miss, even in PvP, because much of that progress is more nuanced.
