"We assume that the players are at the peak of their playing ability"

So, their best season (by OPS+):
Outfield A
Mickey Mantle - 1957 - 11.3 WAR / .365 BA / 1.177 OPS / 221 OPS+
Ted Williams - 1941 - 10.4 WAR / .406 BA / 1.287 OPS / 235 OPS+
Babe Ruth - 1920 - 11.9 WAR / .376 BA / 1.379 OPS / 255 OPS+

Outfield B
Willie Mays - 1965 - 11.2 WAR / .317 BA / 1.043 OPS / 185 OPS+
Hank Aaron - 1971 - 7.2 WAR / .327 BA / 1.079 OPS / 194 OPS+
Barry Bonds - 2002 - 11.8 WAR / .370 BA / 1.381 OPS / 268 OPS+

Outfield A appears to have a slight edge for "peak" ability.
