I'd say Monica takes this. Tirryl has the power but lacks the confidence. Yes he eventually got it and has shown the versatility in JLTF, but the % of his showings at this level isn't high.
Ray's biggest problem for most of his appearances was simple lack of faith in himself. Think about it, his greatest enemy in his solo series was Dark Masque an AI of his own creation that ran his own light construct as a training tool. He made this tool to test himself and try to become better. He was easily led both by his father and Vandal Savage because of this lack of faith. If he had that faith there is NO WAY Arth8ur Light would have bested him when in sheer power and versatility in it's use Ray is above him.
We just never got to see enough of Ray with confidence in himself acting at the peak of his power to take a solid majority of Monica who has acted at that level for the majority of her appearances.

Lobo was out for blood from the get-go but Ray only got serious when he figured Lobo was actually trying to kill him.
meh, i've seen the fight--think i have the issue somewhere. lobo is a physical character--that wouldn't mean sh!t to ray or monica so surviving lobo is no biggie for either. assume energy form and he can't do anything to either of them. the antimatter thing is solid enough but i don't recall exactly what happened there, nor is it something that i can't see monica replicating anyway. didn't blue marvel just use his powers on her to heal her or something....? and regardless, that is still just one feat. monica has....dozens of uber feats to use. she wins on consistently being more powerful and consistently having much better control of her powers.
