I know Buffy has physical powers, but River did take out that room of Reavers. I just think she's written as having more of an edge than everyone else. Handwavium infinitum.
Joyce: And what did you do tonight? Dawn: Irritated Giles. I'm beginning to get why Buffy likes it so much.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Eh, Buffy's taken on a room full of demons. But, I see your point.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
Question is, can they both beat an integrated Echo?
Oooo, interesting!
But, frankly I don't see them fighting for long, if at all. I think they'd all pause and cock their heads at each other and decide to not fight but do girly stuff instead.
As for Buffy's healing power, they are not instantaneous, so might not be all that helpful mid-fight.

But being able to take a punch or a kick better would be. But ita's right. We never see her get her ass kicked and we see her kicking all kinds of ass, so she looks more invulnerable.

River has the big edge in sense things and anticipate patterns and movement. Which, frankly, I think would be the most important if you dropped all of them off in a squash court with hunting knives and only one could leave.
Doesn't Nutty always win on a squash court?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
That's pretty awesome.
