Undead RVD's "Up for another match to vote on" Edges:
Short Range: The Shuriken may likely move slow enough to be ignored by Shepard's kinetic barriers and possibly sharp enough to cut through Shepard's armor. This may be useful in killing him. It also flies back to the predator so the Predator won't run out of ammo. Now, the M-3 Predator packs some power but Zaeed survived a shot to the face from a Mass Accelerated Pistol so these guns may not be enough to kill a Predator that fast. Of the two, the Shuriken likely has a greater chance of killing in one hit. I give the edge to the Shuriken but only do to assumption. Mid Range: The Katana lacks any real range but has power. The Smart Disk, however, has a homing element to it and, like the Shuriken, is slow enough to be ignored by the kinetic barriers while sharp enough to go through the body armor with ease. Both are deadly as all hell but I will give it to the Smart Disk do to its superior range and homing element. Long Range: The Avenger has a faster rate of fire and projectile speed but the Plasma Caster is more accurate, can be used in conjunction with other weapons and hits with WAY more power. The Avenger blows out a barrage of bullets but getting hit with the Plasma Caster will likely kill in one hit. This one is even for me. Melee: The Omni-Blade is only single use and only good in melee combat. The Predator's Wrist Blade has greater reach and more versatile (can be launched as a projectile). Explosive: Don't know enough of the Plasma grenade so I will not say anything right now. Armor: Shepard's Armor and shields are best against bullets and not against the kind of weapons the Predator packs. At the same time, the Predator's plate armor will not be very helpful against Shepard's weapons. Protection wise, both are pretty damn naked. Overall: Despite Shepard's superior tactics and evening out in several areas, I must give it to the Predator. Its cloaking system will make targeting him very hard so Shepard will not be hitting the Predator for most of the time. The Predator also wields the more superior weapons for close range and melee combat. The Predator's deadliest x-factor, however, is its ability to study its prey. Will will spend most of its time studying Shepard and know what is the best way to take Shepard down. Sorry Mass Effect fan boys but I am going with the Ultimate Hunters.
