Second, what point in their respective time streams. If we're taking Aang right when he came out of the iceberg for example, Jack would utterly destroy him. If we take Aang as an adult as seen in flashbacks from Legend of Korra, that's going to be a significantly more challenging fight for Jack. On Jack's end, at the very beginning of the series (like the second eipsode), he was a little more foolhardy, and by the end, he's more cautious.

Overall, I think Jack wins this fight in the majority of match-ups, mainly due to his varied training and his greater amount of experience, not to mention the crazy feats we've seen him perform, as mentioned above by Strunton. Arenas are always places where both combatants can function at their best, so there would be plenty of every element for Aang to use.

Both are taken at their peaks, since no other timeline would really make sense.

Then we can't really decide this battle yet. Since Samurai Jack hasn't actually concluded yet (Season 5 starts tonight), we haven't seen Jack at his peak. That being said, if we take Jack at the peak of what we've SEEN, I'd still give it to Jack in about seven out of ten fights.
