Hmm, a new person might get the crazy idea there are some long standing feuds here.
Wonder Woman would loses side Wonder Woman would win side.
I think we all know that when two heroes fight each other, their power levels tend to bend towards the middle to make for a more exciting fight. But even then, WW vs. Superman was like a corvette trying to fight a tank, like a handheld hammer trying to fight a wrecking ball, like any other metaphors you can think of (and Supes is the wrecking ball and the tank in case there's any doubt).
When they have directly fought each other, it seemed a decent fight because nobody wants to see a Mike Tyson one punch KO. But then again, Black Adam fought Hawkman and it actually lasted longer than a nano-second. I rest my case. Fights between heroes do not reflect their feats and standard power levels.
I do think she is (forgive me, I'm new) fast and skilled enough to drag it out but the result is inevitable.

So then exactly would Wonder Woman fall since you think she's so far below superman? She's been hit by zoom and actually beat him. She's beaten White martians, etrigan ( who knocked superman from the earth to the moon), Gods, etc. She has strength feats like helping tow the earth, Holding up half of the Spectre's unconcious form, and she's taken lumps from Oblivion who knocked superman out. She's also embarrassed Supergirl, who has a list of impressive feats. WW has knocked out the indestructible classic Captain Atom. So where does she fit? OH and she gave Hermes a hell of a fight. The same god who was able to fight mercury and Flash at the same time.

Arguing is fun but I believe what it really comes down to is who is writing the characters at the time and the power level the writer wants them to be on or needs them to be on for that particular story. Then readers will selectively invoke whatever examples support what they want to believe. So if someone wants Superman to win, they'll be more likely to invoke examples where WW doesn't seem nearly on his level. if they prefer that WW wins, they'll invoke examples where she seems about on the same level as him.
Also, in all these fights, Supes vs. WW, WW vs. white martians or gods, etc., I'd have to have read all of them myself. Without that, I can't know the nuances of what really happened in each fight and what the circumstances were that helped one or the other win. We can only go by what we've read. Using "Sacrifice" as my main example of a fight between them, I'd say she can delay him but ultimately he's going to win.
I feel DC keeps saying she is his equal in power or near enough but they talk the talk more than actually showing her that way. She's definitely up there among the heavy hitters but not Superman level. And I say this as a WW fanboy that has collected her comic more consistently than most comics.
