Commander Shepard takes this in my opinion. For one thing, he has fought far deadlier enemies than Marcus. In addition, his armor grants much better protection; he is not only protected with his physical armor, but his kinetic barriers will protect him from Marcus bullets, even if he aims for exposed areas like the head. Marcus' weapons also, in my opinion, seem cruder and less accurate than Shepard's, especially in close combat; the Chainsaw bayonett is completely outclassed by the Omniblade, as it is attached to the gun, is harder to use, and can be lost if he loses his gun. The Omniblade, on the other hand, comes from Shepard's suit itself, is more accurate, and far faster to use.
