at this point it would appear that Panthers way is superior, hes faster than Steve as we saw in the chase scene in Civil War and hes arguably just as strong seen when they fought evenly and struggled with each other over Caps shield at one point.
I have to disagree with the panthers. As of now, we have no idea just how durable they are without their suits. We know Cap is tough enough to go h2h with IM for a bit. I'm unsure if an unarmored T'Challa can do the same.
Cap's SSS is the best. Red Skull tried to replicate the formula, we also know that the Hulk was the result of a failure attempt to recreate the formula.
We've seen Cap reaching levels of resistance, strength, and agility unrival by the other Super Soldiers.
The Mark 2 Winter Soldiers seemed pretty potent. One of them looked to be outmuscling Bucky's robo arm with their human arms, something even Steve can't do. Only issue with those guys is they seemed to have permanent roidrage going.

Well Captain America was the only one out of the western bunch, Red Skull and the WS', to be made a SS using the actual process for it. In terms of raw stats he has the best feats.
The heart herb seems to have more agile user though.
Its not that clean though. In CW Cap got KTFOd by Bucky during tha latter's escape while T'challa was smacking him around. And not even in one of their 3 fights did T'challa remotely seem to be threatened by Bucky, suit or no suit. Can't say the same for Steve.

IDK Red Skull was pretty evenly matched against Cap in hand to hand, and Cap even had his shield. He even seemed to have the edge for the majority of the fight, with Cap getting in a hit here and there. It's either Cap or him IMO, though I'm leaning towards Red Skull.
Red Skull seemed comparable to Steve in the first film. But Steve in the first film also visibly strained to bend an already partially bent piece of railing, but can currently pin down helicopters. Also, Steve is a WAY better fighter than he was back then, so there is no guarantee a rematch would go even remotely the same as the first fight did. Cap has become far more skilled, experienced and used to his powers since then.

This is actually a great point. From what we can tell, the other SS serums were used on already fairly fit, strong men (or was Panther also a weak manlet? Not seen yet). Cap's SS serum was applied to a 90 pound five foot tall asthmatic weakling who couldn't win a fight with a thirteen year old girl. That Cap's serum arguably has the best physical feats of any serum user independently while also having by far the least formidable base form clinches it tbh.
Imagine if Bucky was given the serum instead of Steve. He'd be over seven feet tall and be able to toss tanks around.
