 Dargoo Faust's [REDACTED] EDGES: "Go the Distance" 

Weapons - Maui

While Hercules has the advantage of variety and having a legitamate form of defense, Maui's magic hook gives him an insanse range advantage (being able to reach the Sun and all), alongside the powerful ability of shapeshifting. Hercules's sword is definately superior than usual weapons in durability and is likely magic in some aspect, but the hook has too many advantages for anything to really compete here.

Powers - Hercules

I'm actually going to give a slight edge to Hercules here. On paper, Maui might look a thousand times more impressive, but Hercules has the benefits of fighting on the same playing feild as near-god level characters such as the Titans and Hades, and has more impressive durability feats such as surviving Styx. It's no mystery that Maui is much greater when it comes to putting out damage, but I doubt that he really has anything to properly put down Hercules, as the three fates literally couldn't cut his string. Even to get a knock-out or incapacitate Hercules, Maui will need a very long and drawn out battle, and his lackluster druability feats aren't helping him do that properly.

X- Factors and Verdict

I was initially going to give this to Maui, but I have to say I see Hercules winning the long battle here. Maui might have a lot of tricks up his sleave, but I don't see any of them doing enough damage to knock out someone who had taken blows from gods and titans. On the other hand, Maui is brash, will use most of his energy in his initial attack, and probably won't expect a big retaliation from Hercules. That said, I can see Maui winning the mid fight, but most times I see this as a battle of attrition that will end with a win from the big greek dude.
