El Alamein's "First Vote in a Darn Long Time" Edges:

 Melee: Big Feet vs. Clawed Hands, Feet, Horns, Firey Body:  Easy win for the Balrog here - big feet are... well, big, but the clawed hands will easily cause more physical damage, the horns allow for vicious headbutt attacks, and the firey body allows you to immerse your foe in a living inferno just by making physical contact.

Edge: Balrog

 Mid Range: Bone Hammers vs. Firey Sword:  The Bone Hammers are larger than the sword, and when it comes to big monsters, crushing blunt trauma is lethal coupled with their massive, massive strength. The sword inflicts nasty slashes and deadly thrusts, but it can't keep up with the heavyweight hammers.

Edge: Behemoth

 Long Range: Chin Blade vs. Firey Whip:  From what you say, GSFB, it appears that while the Chin Blades are slow, they're powerful and instantly lethal, while the Fire-Whips are fast and scary but not as deadly. Even if a Behemoth is scared and retreats, it won't be out of the fight permanently. Meanwhile, if a Balrog takes a chin blade through the head, it's as good as dead.

Edge: Behemoth

WINNER: BALROG

The winning factor for me is the Balrog's firey body - what shortcomings it has in the weapons department it makes up for in being a self-controlled furnace, being able to incinerate its foes and their tools with ease. The Behemoth does have some nice weapons in the Bone Hammers and their Chin Blade.... but it's not enough to surpass the Balrog's all-consuming inferno.
