The staff not only has strong energy blasts, but can be used to fly, and make bright flashes to make it hard to see, it's not just a blaster.
Her suit, which gives enhanced strength and toughness, isn't mental.
She's a bit more of a ranged fighter and has a wider array of tricks, which is why I give her the edge.
Misty has her own bag of tricks as well, especially with Stark/Rand Industries' improvements.
Blasting is a wash between the two, but once they get up close and fight (which, admittedly, is more in character for both I think), Misty would take it. That staff would be liquefied, as would her gauntlets.

I'm not sure if mere sunglasses are that much help ^^
There's also the ability to staff-jump around gives her better mobility for avoiding fire. And I think the staff is stronger, she can blast near Misty to blow her off her feat.

It all depends on who you see as getting the first shot off first, and who the better markswoman is. I am still leaning towards Misty in that regard.
Does Manhunter use her blasts all the time? Or does she go H2H mostly?

Kate is primarily a ranged fighter. Even in close her blasts are normally what finishes the job.
And the staff's powerful enough that she doesn't need a direct hit to gain an advantage, though she is good with the staff.

Isn't her suit the ones the Darkstars used? Gives her enhanced strength and speed, right?

Yep, as well as stuff like a tracking device and lenses to protect her eyes.Just the bare-bones functions, it's not a full power Darkstar suit, but she is physically enhanced.
Bare bones is right, she never displayed anywherenear the strength etc of the Darkstars.
Her baton was also supposed to be that or mark Shaw, but again we see none of the versatile uses Shaw had for it. He used ti to take down members of the Rogues gallery, GL enemies, Lex Luthor kill squads (in the Luthor flying armor). The magnetic pulse attachment shut down Snart's cold gun on two occasions. He used it to fly between building s by magnetically attracting and repelling himself, disarm large groups (like Cuban army in Invasion), and to magnetically charge people so they would be pulled to metal. He used the srobe attachment to blind and throw of Wally in a blitz attack and take him down (PIS I know but still). A sonic Attachment broke Count Vertigo's concetration and allowed him to take him down. The baton in Shaw's hands was like an Adam west utility vest, there was always another device. What does Kate do, she blasts - WOW.

We shall have to agree to disagree. I may defer to your superior knowledge of Kate......but I remain to be convinced.

She has used some of the other functions, though granted not nearly as much. She has used the light function, and iirc she used the magnetic one a time or two as well. She does fly with it, though using it more as a booster rather than the magnetic function.
