I feel confident ChatGPT got one right:

...R2-D2 would almost certainly win in a fight against C-3PO due to his superior mobility, durability, range of tools and gadgets, and better adaptability in combat situations. C-3PO’s lack of combat abilities and defensive options would make him an easy target for R2-D2's more versatile and robust design.
