I'm not so sure if Cap is the better fighter. It depends on who's writing it. We hear things like "I mastered lethal combat by the time I was 6" from Panther and Hunter, The White Wolf (his adopted brother). When Cap was 6, he probably couldn't make it from his bed to the bathroom on time. As a warrior king, T'Challa has mastered many many fighting styles.
Any offensive shield attacks are useless on T'Challa. His suit would sap the momentum of the shield and it would just drop in the air when it got to him. Cap also has his back-up photonic shield that he keeps for emergencies in his glove. It might be easier for him to use that. And who knows what Cap keeps in his belt. Lately he's been seen with a utility belt type thing. A little Batman-esque, but more in line with Cyclops' old pocket belt and the Punisher's. They have one, but we never see what's in it.
Panther has his energy dagger, which can operate as a regular knife, or fire energy projectiles. He has his anti-metal claws (I wonder if those would affect Cap's shield?) which, if Cap wears chain-mail, would easily pierce that. He has his vibranium boots, which he can vibrate at different frequencies, to absorb impact, or act like anti-vibranium and other effects. He has his suit which absorbs momentum of bullets and metal objects and also carries (although rarely uses) a ceremonial heirloom, a pure vibranium knife coated with anti-metal vibranium.
Both are tactical genius' and very smart. They're about the same strength level and agility level. Panther has his enhanced senses, which he could probably find a setting to use those to his advantage.
I want to see Black Panther win.
This is another fight that I think already occured in the comics. It was in one of the older Avengers comics where Captain America fought the Black Panther -- and won. But my vote would go to BP. Call me biased because I probably am. But I think T'Challa is one of the baddest mofo's in the not so superhuman powered community.
