Comic Shiera was back in the golden age mostly, so Carter. Female counterparts tended to be weaker back then. Kendra's a lot closer, as is probably Shayera.
The DC animated Hawkgirl-Shiera is probably the strongest Hawk of all.
Most versions of Hawkman were superior to any Hawkgirl, and animated HG wouldn't hold a candle to comic Hawkman who has superior feats.
Kendra isn't closer, she doesn't know how to use her powers fully and doesn't remember her past lives while Carter does plus Kator Hol's. Shayera got defeated by Hawkman a few times.
Animated Hawkgirl has shown major resilience (like in the ep she fought a mind-controlled Wonder Woman, she took some hits from Diana. Animated WW's less strong than comic, but still, pretty impressive), and with that mace I think she can hit harder than even Carter can, and at the least she can block almost anything.
Unlike everyone else, they gave Shiera a pretty major power up moving into animated.
So has Hawkman and with the stronger comic version of Wonder Woman as well as Superman, Martian Manhunter, Aquaman, Black Adam (several times), Despero, etc. Carter actually has better weapons and actually uses the mace she used in the cartoon.
I read quite abit of Hawkman/Hawkgirl as I did the respect thread for them and she (animated) didn't do anything comic versions couldn't.

No, he has a mace, but it doesn't have the properties of Animate Hawkgirl's. Which is like... adamantium, plus energy absorption properties, that let it hit even harder when charged.
She regularly uses it to deflect significant quantities of ranged fire, so nice reflexes too.
She solo-killed a Grundy who was beating the heck out of Superman and GL.
