Imo, scott often comes off as the more intellectual of the two; that is the general vibe & tone their interactions & appearances seem to generate and suggest. it's massively misleading though since beneath logan's surface is genius and experience scott doesn't have a hope in hell of matching. logan's brain power (while in the daner room) was described by forge as being the equivalent of performing a gold medalist gymnastics routine while simultaneously beating four computer chess programs in his mind. he speaks half a dozen languages & has some knowledge of even more. he's an expert with computers, martial arts, flying helicopters & other craft, and reads classic novels like there is no tommorrow as evidenced in "the brotherhood" arc by rucka. so ya, scott has nothing on him except coming off as a bit of a condescending twerp at times. In actuality, logan is far more intelligent overall, but thinks more "from the heart" most of the time rather than endlessly ponificate or play the role of pseudo intellectual. logan seems to be getting very little love here, so i think cyclop's is due for some criticism.
logan would win any close combat fight with scott with ease. long range fight would only delay cyclop's inevitable loss. logan has better instincts. logan has more military experience considering he's been involved in several major wars. and finally, logan has the closer connection with jean grey phoenix (as shown VERY clearly in the last wolverine arc).
