Wonder Woman, better fighter and more experienced. Supergirl isn't on Superman's level, if she was she would be in the top 3 tied with Supes & Capt.Marvel, but she isn't and Wonder Woman is. Also Supergirl is comparable to a Superman who puts restraints on his powers not really impressice compared to someone who's reckless and lacks control.
Supergirl defeated the JLA???? I guess this is the new trend, so far I heard that Superboy Prime defeated the JLA, Batman defeated the JLA and some dude that stole Batman's plans on how to defeat the JLA, defeated the JLA!!
Actually, Supergirl IS more powerful than WW. By a fair bit. Or should be at least.
The whole crux of Loebs Supergirl arc, when everybody thought she was more powerful than her big cousin/lil cousin was that Superman simply wasn't trying........Insanely stupid, yeah, but thats Loeb for ya.
So going by that, Supergirl operates above Supermans everyday level of power. Since she isn't use to holding back. He is stronger as a whole, but her average output is higher than his.
WW is significantly below Supermans everyday levels, so for Kara to be above his everyday levels, means that she's beyond Diana by a more than significant margin.
So the end result is, Supergirl >>Superman normal, and Superman normal>> Diana, so if my math is correct, Supergirl >>>>Diana as a whole.
And thus, Loeb ensures more years of hatred for the Superman Family, and all by proving Supergirl >> JLA, and thus True Superman >>>> JLA.
And people wonder why he wins the most hated contests. Superman, that is.
Actually I disagree.
WW and Superman tend to both hold back.
Supergirl fights all out.
Supergirl all out > Superman holding back
Supergirl All out > WW holding back
Supergirl all out vs WW all out
means supergirl gets a freaking spanking.

I'll bet anything someone will one day retcon that whole fight to be that everyone understood supergirl was under some kind of mind control, and didn't really wanna hurt her, so they feigned defeat.

Of course. Unless we're saying everyday Superman is 90% of his max, that argument doesn't have any legs to stand on. She's does too well against all out Superman to claim she's under his everyday levels. If she were that far beneath him, she'd get killed in one shot every time.
supermans appears the obvious stronger to me on both counts, however its diana's fighting style that gives her near even odds.

And Batman has beaten Bane and Killer Croc. Doesn't make him any more powerful than them.
And at best, all i could see WW as in comparison to Supergirl is equal, with a slant towards the kryptonian.
WW hangs with the best of them, due to the fact that she's more skilled than the rest of them. And in the ballpark, but not quite there.
It's like Rotiart says it's thanks to Batman's skill and experience that he is able to beat people like Bane and Croc, this is what Diana a fighting chance against Superman.
