anyways i personally see sylar taking this
he has the ability to make himself immaterial and phase through solid objects. in this setting this would make him naturally immune to physical contact as well as remove himself from the force
he can fly at supersonic speeds
his masterful displays of telekinesis range from having the control to narrowly cut around another humans brain to having the power to effortlessly (as in with the slightest gesture) send a giant truck flying up into the air
his other [lesser] abilities include:
liquefaction (the ability to turn any solid into liquid)
cryokinesis (the ability to remove heat from matter, reducing its temperature and causing it to freeze)
illusions (can make anyone he chooses see whatever he wishes; make himself appear invisible, appear as a different person, change the appearance of the setting etc.)
rapid cellular regeneration (the ability to regenerate cells at an increased rate, resulting in the accelerated healing of physical injury)
precognition (the ability to paint the future, could be used to predict what could potentially happen in this fight during the planning time)
enhanced hearing (super hearing, sylar has enough control over this to isolate different sounds from eachother and hear something as quiet as a heartbeat)
enhanced memory (photographic)
and his natural ability of seeing how things work and being able to fix them means that he can master and perfect any technique quicker than anybody else
