Probably Ainz. We still don't know much about Zesshi aside from what was said in Volume 4; she could handle Shalltear (without equipment) if she had her God gear, but if Shalltear was using her gear, Shalltear would probably win. Of course this was all conjecture, since the Captain of the Black Scirpture didn't know very much about Shalltear's abilities; they may be underestimating Shalltear's abilities.

Ainz has a lot of skills, abilities and information which only Yggdrasil players would know; he may recognise her class or gear (he could probably get a rough idea of her level and stats), whereas Zesshi wouldn't know Ainz's spells, abilities, class or equipment. At most, she'd know that since he's undead he'd have negative energy attacks and is weak to Holy and Fire elemental attacks.

Ainz would definitely be at a disadvantage as a magic caster fighting a front-line attacker (we can assume she's some sort of high-level warrior class by the fact that she was expected to fight 1v1 against Shalltear), but if he's got cash items, Perfect Warrior and his guildmates' weapons, he could probably handle her in CQC.

I have to wonder just how large-scale an operation would have to be to be able to allow a 1v1 against Ainz to happen? The Guardians and other beings of Nazarick would be rushing to his side to defend him, so they would need to be occupied or unaware of what was happening. It would also have to be a situation in which Ainz couldn't retreat, as he'd probably be wary of a powerful unknown opponent challenging him to a fight.
