In the olden days, Thor was considered 3rd strongest in the Marvel line-up. I remember seeing an old Spider-Man comic (probably from around 1963-64), where there was a section detailing Spider-Man's powers, and where he ranked strength-wise. Off to the side, watching him lift a huge barbell, was the Hulk, then behind him was the Thing, then behind Ben was Thor.
Based on this: Ben wins.
