Eddie Morra isn't just more intelligent in 1 subject than the others, he is arguably better in all subjects than the others such is the nature of his abilities. The only other film character I can think of that has a similar situation is George Malley from 'Phenomena'.
As it is I'm unfamiliar with some of the characters and situations(haven't seen 1408 or flypaper) but I'd go with team 1 because of Morra's breadth and depth or knowledge.
There are more to intelligence than raw mind power of Morra !!
Creativity is one of them !!
Although Tripp is similar to Morra in terms of raw mind power.
Team 2 has the edge in planning , but Sullivan can challenge them.
In terms of surviving (from the cube) team 2 has the edge if you have seen the cube , you will know how useful is will hunting.
Surviving from 1408 room is really hard because it's full of deceptions and psychological manipulations, which Sullivan in team 1 can handle it.
In terms of Real power, team 1 easily has the edge because that one depends on raw mind powers which Morra and Patrick will eat team 2.
Do you remember Deep blue ?? It was a computer chess program designed by IBM that won against Kasparov (who has an iq of 190) , years later a guy with a normal iq (105 -110) won against deep blue, a chess program which had designed specially to defeat anything in chess !!
OK here is another example, you know Richard Feynman right?
He was a quantum physicist with an iq of 125 , and you know Marilyn vos savant right!! She has an iq of 228 , now search and look what she has done and what he did.
OK the point about Eddie is that his mind is like a super computer but with human capabilities , Tripp from flypapers is almost like him !! but there are more things that learning fast or predict the stock market , Ben from lost is a good example, he is a manipulator, resisting against his manipulations requires a very strong sub-conscious , or Sullivan from Cypher can change the personality but he himself can resist against it, my point is if someone like Patrick Jane would use his 100% of mind he would be president of solar system lol.
A super computer can predict any number in a quantum sequence, which will take hundreds of years for human to do , very similar to what Eddie did at the end, predicting a occurrence by observations.
But still these computers can't beat us at Go.
Seeing the future before it happens and predicting chess movies is entirely different. He had taken the best of NZT-48, got rid of the bad side effects and was then seeing the future.
Pre Cognition in reality is different the computer Pre Cognition in a closed environment.

Of course that is really fascinating but that doesn't give him the win against these guys it just shows his mind fast rate and also Caltech is working on an artificial intelligence to predict the accidents in streets , but that doesn't mean that machine can come up with a brilliant plan ; )
