Let's see shall we

Close Range

Hrunting sounds like a prime example of bullshitting going wrong. "Oh yeah my sword will never fail" said Beowulf just before making himself look like the biggest ass when it broke. Even without that it's a iron sword going up against a steel one, a magically enchanted steel sword at that so won't be nearly as effective.

Mid Range 

A bigass sword or a bigass axe? Hell yeah I'm going with the bigass sword. The axe is nice and all but the Sword of the Giant is presumably longer (being used by giants and all) and even if they were the same size the Sword has the larger lethal surface area making it deadlier.

Long Range

Using Flaming Arrows isn't that much of an advantage. For starters it's very situational, you need to have the right type of terrain to use it as a trap and it could always backfire by setting the whole area on fire, harming yourself just as much as your opponent. Also important to note is that in order to make a flaming arrow you need to wrap it up in a flammable cloth which reduces the penetration power considerably because most of the arrow head is covered up. When they tested the Flaming Arrows on Deadliest Warrior it did jack shit to chainmail armour and even when it did get through it may have helped the person being hit because it cauterised it and stopped them bleeding out. So in fact the Fire Arrows are actually less effective than just a regular bow so Beowulf gets the edge.
