I would say Ronin from what i saw and can remember from the Malekith/thor fight.
Non were really tapping into the gems too much but I think Ronin used his gem more effectively than Mal.
gotta go with ronan. while u could fight with it, I feel the aether was meant for a different purpose. while the power gem as more like an atomic bomb that could just obliterate the planet..the aether seemed more like a slow cancer, meant for infecting/corrupting/consuming reality on a bigger scale. in a straight up dog fight, ronan should own. I mean the aether did have its uses in combat. malektih gained strength to tank mjolnir blows and had size increase capabilities..but i don't think he would be able to match the raw output shown from the purple gem.
Mal had some uber feats with that Aether though, he tossed Thor around like a rag doll with it, not to mention everything else it was doing while he was busy with Thor.
have to re-watch that fight to refresh my memory. I remember malekith conjuring up an (energy?) tornado around himself.
If that's the case then it might be a close fight.
still non of them were tapping into the gems too much.
