Ugh, ya'll are making it tougher and tougher to vote.

In the end, after all the details, I'm giving it to liz

In terms of Weapons and Semblance: In the weapons department, Liz takes the lead because of the multiuse of her weapon. Messer's is tried and true, but due to the fact that its made from spare parts practically and does not have the reach of Liz's, it does not beat LIz's Tombstone. To factor into this is Liz's robotic arms whic work conjuctively well with her already said better weapon. Semblance wise, Messer takes it because to my reading the page doesn't say she has a Semblance. However, Messer's semblance won't do him good against tombstone.

In terms of skills and fighting style: Both rival each other in speed, but because of Messer's fight style he uses it more effectively. Because of Liz's weapon, she is a bit slower but because her weapon is superior against Messer in blocking the lack of speed because of the weapon is weighed out. Thus her weapon proves to help in her favor, especially intangent with her fighting style. Messer's fighting sstyle is impressive, however because it is so much like that of a King Taijito, Liz would be able to relate it to the grimm counterpart and could distinguish it's weaknesses.

with all this considered, my vote goes to Liz.
