Edward may have the all round better powers but when it comes down to it Etrigan has been around longer and had more time to perfect his powers and skills as well as being the more ruthless and brutal foe. A high Healing factor is always better than just being able to survive near fatal wounds because you can actually heal rapidly as opposed to taking however long it takes for Edward to fully heal.
