Chief get my vote because of pure durability.He's been through enormous amounts of trauma and things that would kill Samus and Chief walks away every time. Samus armor is being overrated, it is tough but it terms of pure defense it's not a strong a MC's. She was taken down by a shot to the back Metroid other M by a fairly small and weak weapon, I think it was a type of pistol, which totally took her armor down and left her totally defenseless  Chief has fall through orbit, been blasted by plasma and various forms of munitions and has never had his armor destroyed. Chief weapons are more than powerful enough to knock her down and out where as Samus smaller weapons won't take him down and her Larger weapons will be stopped by the Bubble shield.
