Let's start.

Close- Wardens. Their blade is longer, and stronger, and overall better than the Spartan's short sword.

Mid- Even. A Greatsword is powerful but slow, the Spartan's main weapon, excluding thier shield, is the Dory, and thus are very, very skilled with the item, though with the armor the Warden's are wearing, I don't know how well it'll work.

Long- Wardens. The Crossbow is more accurate, has more range, and more power. The Javelin is a pretty bad long range weapon to be honest, as it is a one time use mostly, and is much harder to hit someone with, and will deal little damage compared to arrows.

Special- Spartans. The Battleaxe has nothing on the Spartan Shield, it is an amazing defensive weapon, because of it's size and how it is built, and it is also a deadly offensive weapon too, that has major blunt damage from a single hit from the damn thing. The Wardens will have a hell of a time getting around this thing.

Armor- Wardens. It's stronger, and covers more. Sure, the Spartan armor is horrible, and will allow more movement, but simple cuts to the legs can negate all that extra mobility quickly, as the Spartan armor only covers the head and torso.

Overall- Wardens. They have the most important X-Factors, have most of the better weapons, and their armor is much better than the Spartan's. They'll have a very difficult time getting around that shield, but once they do, the Spartan is completely screwed. The Spartan will pretty much rely solely on that shield, if it is lost, they won't last long.
