I presume this is both of Ash's pokemon? If so:

Round1) Infernape. He's the only one who can access his Super Mode in this battle and he is used to taking punishment A LOT. Perhaps he doesn't have experience defeating water types but as every battle with Alain shows, Greninja doesn't have a good track record with fire types either.

Round 2) Greninja. This more comes down to the nature of their Super Modes. Greninja can activate his at the start of a battle (provided he and Ash are in sync); Infernape can't. His Blaze only comes into effect after being dealt a lot of damage. While I'm sure Infernape could last the battle and Blaze would give him a stat boost to help him, Ash-Greninja jsut has much more feats with a notable one being able to dodge an entire Draco meteor. The only other pokemon in the series who accomplished such a feat was Tobias' Darkrai in Sinnoh.
