Okay, here goes

Close: Hanharr. Blades>fists. And, it's not like Hanharr can't use his own brute strength to match Grunt's. Though really, with the armor and barriers and such that Grunt has, neither are going to do well in extremely close combat.

Mid: Grunt. The Claymore is strong, much stronger than that dinky little blaster pistol. And Grunt specializes with his shotguns, so there's experience with the weapon right there. The Claymore also has close to the same range as the blaster pistol, essentially leaving the only thing a blaster pistol has over the Claymore is it's easier to carry.

Long: Hanharr. The Bowcaster is accurate at any range, And has power to back it up, the Revanant isn't long range at all, at least, if you want to hit your target anyways. Though, for Mid or Close range, it'd be pretty good, so it isn't all bad.

Explosive: Even. Not sure really. I think the frags from Star Wars pack a bigger punch than the ones from Mass Effect, but I really can't say. And I don't want to go on an assumption like that. Besides, I still think this battle would mostly involve the mid and long range weapons rather than the explosives.

Armor: Well, let's see here. Hanharr has no armor. Grunt has full set of heavy Krogan armor. Hanharr has energy shields. Grunt has kinetic barriers. Kinetic barriers>Energy shields. Armor>no armor. If it wasn't apparent now, I'll state it now. If anyone honestly thinks that Hanharr deserves the edge here, I invite them to speak up and plead their case.

Overall: Grunt. Hanharr just doesn't have enough to protect himself. He's set in terms of weapons, but as for protection, he's screwed completely. I have no doubts that the Revanant or the Claymore could rip through his energy shields like butter, essentially meaning Hanharr can't afford to take any hits if he wants to have a chance. Grunt can afford to Krogan charge Hanharr if need be, regardless of weapons he has, because if the barriers don't stop it, the Krogan armor sure will for a time.
