Power Cosmic is very versatile even in Silver Surfer's hands... but I think Onslaught could overpower Surfer. Gonna go with Onslaught for the majority... maybe 7/10.
I give the slight edge to surfer here.
Superior telepathy and telekinesis? "godlike" full potential cable had that and was getting owned all over the place by Surfer.
Uni powered Gladiator had theoretically every power under the sun PLUS cosmic awareness and STILL got massively beaten down by Surfer.
Don't forget surfer can not only power drain, but can and will turn mutant genes OFF if he wants to.
Onslaught might sneak out a few plot device wins or two, but when it comes down to it surfer has tangled with a LOT more powerful individuals and come out on top.
