I vote for Thane. He takes the majority of weapons edges, as well as the key X-Factor of experience. As So-Pro pointed out, Luger has only been fighting Helgast, whereas Thane has been fighting against a far larger variety of foes for a longer period of time, even before he met Shepard.

I do have a question, though: If Thane's Kepral's Syndrome doesn't affect him in combat in any way, why does it seem to count against him?
