I think I may be leaning towards Toph, Katara takes this during the full moon I think... not entirely sure...

Katara was more smart than she was a legendary groundbreaking bender.
Toph created a whole new fighting style as well as created a whole new form of bending on her own that thousands would soon adopt in LOK

That's good for Toph, but I don't think it has any bearing on the fight.

It does when that bending prowess is what made her legendary in combat by age twelve.

And since Katara is primarily stuck on the ground when fighting, she's at a disadvantage because of TOph's earth-sense.

I was referring to her metalbending.

Depends on the environment. Metal might be the hardest to gather, and smallest in size to use, but it had very durable usage.

Besides, Katara can cut through metal.

It took Katara and Aang a very long time to cut a foot or so into a single metal beam. So that doesn't mean much.
Regardless, even without metal bending, Toph holds an advantage in that she can see Katara's every move, sense where she is, and even see her heartbeat. Plus Toph could easily just make a massive wall to block Katara from the ocean.

Katara has improved since that point.
Unless Katara is on ice, or on the ocean. And it depends whether or not Katara gets in the ocean before (if she) makes a giant wall. And if Toph does even do that, Katara can use water from the vegetation nearby.

Katara isnt legendary like toph is.

No metal. This seems sort of like gimping.
Anyone else think this seems sort of like gimping?

Gimping?

Gimping. Intentionally taking away some advantage from one character to help another one.
Toph can't use metal, but Katara has access to vegetation in a rocky area. That's gimping.

'Nearby' is far enough for Toph to pin Katara down and crush her ankles. The advantage comes only if Katara manages to get Toph in the ocean, which I find unlikely.

I don't think that's unfair, Toph having metalbending would be a pretty major trump card, and I don't think Katara using some vegetation for her waterbending would be unfair either...

Katara only needs to get herself in the ocean really, then Toph couldn't sense any vibrations. Maybe Katara could subdue Toph with some water she gets from the grass or trees or whatever?
