If it was up to me, I'd have trouble choosing, but I'm pretty sure GRRM himself has said Selmy and Dayne are the two best. And who am I to argue with that? It sounds like the waters of the trident slowed down Rhaegar enough to give Robert the definitive advantage.
Without that info, I might even go with Robert, as I am inclined to favor heavier armor and blunt weapons. A sword really isn't such a great weapon against a guy in full plate. An estoc would work, but I think the Westerosi Knights use conventional longswords. I have no doubt Selmy is good at finding the gaps in the armor, but it's still not the optimal weapon in the same way a warhammer is.
