Team 2 because of SS and Juggernaut.
Runner > SS and Juggernaut
It's funny. The fight between the Runner and The Surfer (in which Surfer was soundly beaten) was not a win for the Runner because of superior speed. They appeared to be on even footing in terms of combat speed. Englehart actually had the Runner outmuscle the Surfer. Yet, Surfer one shots Champion (without the power gem no less) with a bolt of the power cosmic in issue 1. While Englehart seemed to understand the aspect of speed as intricately tied to the Surfer's power set, I personally think he painted the Surfer as a bit of a pussy in terms of strength and the rest of his power set. Starlin did better and suprisingly, Ron Marz did a great job of returning the Surfer to his glory days (Stan Lee and John Buscema) in terms of power set.
Having said all that, The Runner with the space gem gave Thanos problems (until he used the time gem to return the Runner to an infant). Silver Surfer is typically pretty beastly in terms of power as is Juggernaut. I don't see The Runner and Surfer having a problem with the above listed DC speedsters. Juggsy, I think, stands frozen in time while the fight goes on around him. Only way Juggsy is a factor at all is if for some strange reason he is able to get ahold of one the Flashes.
I give it to team Marvel.
