Compared to each other, in general, at a typical high level, what would you fear fighting the most? Both human in race and both of them with similar stats.

Depends on the situation, I mean if its a shadowy corridor, the assasin is the obvious choice, but otherwise I'd go Blackguard. You have a high level one grouped with some demons. That's just my opinions though. The stats also factor in though.

Blackguard lends itself better to heavy hitting, strength based killers while the Assassin is more of a finesse and stealthy approach.

It all depends, but I've had a lot of fun playing characters that had levels in both Assassin and Blackguard. A heavy hitting assassin in Mithral Shadowy Full-Plate of Silent Moves wielding a Falchion...if the first hit didn't kill you, then the next one surely would!
