The Creation Blades likely have a slightly higher threshold of offense, as evidenced by what Galan mentioned as well as their origin. But the EB is arguably more versatile with ancillary powers. So...I don't know.
I'm going with the Ebony Blade. The Creation Blades and Ebony Blade both have a "one time and never again" high but the Ebony Blade seems more consistent. It's killed a Skyfather that was Odin's level in power instantly. It turned the tide in the Avengers fight vs another Skyfather, Zeus.

Huh? To my knowledge, the Creation Blades are always written as ridiculously haxx pieces of weaponry that can cut absolutely anything. They are very consistent in that regard.
Gender: Male Location: somewhere within time & space
If Dane/Ebony Blade would've confronted Nemesis, and somehow survived, or more incredibly would've defeated Nemesis,
I would've debated with you.
But that wasn't the case, like, at all.
Dane/Ebony Blade snuck up on a distracted/vulnerable Nemesis, and only had to hit the crown where the Gems were to split her up.
Nemesis had just atomized every alternate Avenger and Ultraforce alternate there is in one swoop,
and "deliberately" allowed only 616 Avengers (including Dane) and prime Ultraforce members to live.
This tells me, the conscious Gems probably coerced Nemesis' demise by forcing Nemesis to do that.
If Nemesis would've erased them too, like she easily did with the two sets of infinite alternateS, Dane never pulls off the pis.
I realize the Superman thing is just for laughs, but I don't think it's about the blade itself. Imagine a diamond blade. Theoretically stronger than a steel blade. But you or I won't be able to slice through steel with it, because it's also a question of strength.
Now, given enough time, we could likely saw through it or hack through it. But it would take a bunch of time.
So both can absolutely harm Superman. But it may depend on the strength of the wielder.
Given the Creation Blade's ridiculous effectiveness against Majestic, I'd say most competent fighters could manage it. Not quite as sure with the EB, but probably.
Yeah, like Galan said, I'm not sure what you're talking about with the consistency argument. The Blades were treated like the abstract plot device that they were, basically all the time.
Theres no denying in close quarters combat the creation blades are more destructive.
Given however that the ebony blade can absorb en ergy and be used as a blaster to be a ranged weapon and the fact that I'm more a marksman than a h2h combatant, I'd take it out of the two
1. As far as cutting ability, the Creation Blades deserve their hype. Shutting down Tao appeared to be matchup specific though. I don't think you could stab just any omnipotent being and depower them. Nemesis got stabbed and didn't particularly care beyond the usual "I just got impaled" part. The extra abilities of the Ebony Blade might edge it out here.
2. Nemesis is on par with Zealot. Not sure Dane can handle her.
