Finnick for sure. He won his games by killing everyone with his trident, in a couple of days. Peeta is physically strong, but Finnick is a skilled fighter. That gives him the advantage.

Peeta because he can fight and kill Careers from 1 and 2 - Finnick was from 4 - not as tough of Careers as the other two. Plus Peeta can manipulate others - gain up on Finnick - use the other careers to do so.

I agree, Peeta is too much of a nice guy. But I think Peeta would probably win and kill Finnick if it was for protecting Katniss. I'm sure Peeta would try as hard as he could to win over Finnick it Katniss was in danger of being killed by Finnick.
I think I'd probably pick Finnick over Peeta IF Finnick had been a main character from the start. He had a really good back story; it was just unfortunate that he came in halfway through the trilogy and then died. I've always loved his character though.
