Fingolfin would win, but as others mentioned, your listed cases are exceptional. Huan had the power of prophecy on his side. Eonwe is literally the 'mightiest in arms' of anyone, and as such has a guaranteed pass to win duels.. The reason Sauron fled instead of returning to Numenor is shame. He has done bad things, and he sees that they are bad. He doesn't want to have to confront Manwe and receive judgment. Gil-galad/Elendil was after Sauron had begun to fall. He had invested power and energy into his servants, and had thus lost it. Sauron at the start of the First Age would probably be quite a bit stronger than he was in the fight against GG/E. Fingolfin Fresh From Valinor would easily beat Sauron though, regardless of that. Fingolfin is a fucking badass.
