Here's my predictions:

Close: These are two very exotic weapons, but in the end I think that the cloak and daggers' simplicity would win out. The tanto has a shorter and thinner blade that must be used on a vital part to actually kill instantly. THe black eggs look dangerous, but in reality they are very fragile to lug around and may have a tendency to break, because egg shells are not that durable once its hollowed out of its liquid content. The pugio is a larger blade that can dig deeper and make larger wounds to a body; having the ability to kill instantly. It's deep blade can also hack off limbs when needed. And the cloak is more versatile, being able to be used both as a distraction, defensive and a strangling tool. Unlike the black eggs, the claok can blind more efficiently and can kill as well.

edge: Sicarii

Range: The sling seems to have the longer range but the blowgun has that killing potential. Although I doubt that it and the shuriken can get past the Sicarii's cloak which can be used also defensively.

edge: Even

Special: THe kusarigama is a dangerous weapon but it's also dangerous to the person. The sickle can only do slashing attacks and the ball and chain needs to be set up in the right momentum to be deadly. The Sicae is simple and more practical, you don't need to swing it, and that thing also has a poison that can make any slash a killing blow.

edge: Sicarii

Winner: Sicarii

The Ninjas may have the advantage in profession and metaluurgy, but the Sicarii has fought in more battles. I kinda see this as the same as the Ninja vs germanic Ghost Warrior, and the ninja lost because the GHost Warriors were actual "warriors" than spies. And the Sicarii's training and experience in hit and run tactics and guerilla warfare makes them the more lethal stealth fighter in my opinion.
