Zoe

1) I couldn't trust Jayne would always be willing to get my back.
2) Mal likely has his own fight.
3) Book would only step in if necessary to finish the fight
4) Wash would be about as useful as myself
5) River may not be paying attention to what's happening at the moment
6) Simon would certainly try, but he's no Zoe or Jayne in combat
7) Kaylee would be best served going for help

In reverse order of usefulness:

9) Kaylee - She'd find it hard enough to decide to hit someone, let alone actually land a punch.
8) Inara - She's more used to men fighting over her than with her.
7) Wash - his most memorable fight scene was being knocked out by Saffron.
6) River - Her super-intelligence would help but her slight build wouldn't.
5) Simon - Remember how he took on the several villagers at once at the end of Safe?
4) Book - He's got a lot of skill and keeps fit but is getting a bit old to be brawling. In his younger days he probably could have kicked everyone's ass.
3) Zoe - She can kill Wash with her pinky.
2) Jayne - In a real battle Zoe would win, but in a brawl I think Jayne has the edge.
1) Mal - You don't start a fight unless you think you'll win and Mal seems to like starting them. Over his life he's probably been in more bar room brawls than the rest of them put together.

Of course in another type of fight things would be quite different.

So what's the situation, exactly? Big fight in a bar, everybody's there, it gets dirty and potentially fatal?

Let's see, here's what I think will happen:

Kaylee freezes, can't fight.
Inara likely gets out and drags Kaylee with her.
River can be deadly, but in a busy people-everywhere fight might well freak.
Simon, big on the getting River and himself clear.
Wash makes a heroic effort and is knocked down quick.
Book is pretty spry for an old fella, takes out a fair number.
Mal fights dirty but likes to stay on the front lines and make a spectacle of himself, maybe takes some wounds, probably keeps fighting throughout.
Jayne fights very loud and has an impressive body count by the end of the fight.
Zoe kicks some serious butt; she doesn't love a brawl like Mal or Jayne but owns the field if the object is to get the fight over with. She will do whatever it takes to come out winning.

I vote Zoe.
