In regards to Tails' fear of thunder being a determining factor in his fight, are we forgetting he was fighting LUIGI of all people? How come Luigi's cowardness (one of the defining parts of his personality) gets a pass but Tails' doesn't?

Both characters are inconsistent when it comes to their overall fears. We've seen Luigi ready to jump in to take on Bowser in one game and then chicken out in the next. It says Tails is afraid of lightning, but we've seen him casually fly through a thunderstorm in Sonic Rush Adventure with little fear towards what's happening. Given how both characters have a general fear towards something in their opponent's arsenal, you shouldn't bank on fear being a determining factor for the results.

This isn't to say Tails would win or anything, but we shouldn't use fear as a defining argument given how both combatants are notorious scaredy-cats. It's rare for personality or character quirks to be that major of a part in the conclusion.
