I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Actually, it was 7-3...

Sandor is obviously the more dangerous fighter. But for jollies, I've been trying to find a scenario that gives Ned the win. It's Ice. A Valyrian greatsword that could slice through a castle-forged sword, shield, or even the Hound's armor.

Ice was impractical in battle and I'm pretty sure was mostly ceremonial. Correct me if I'm wrong but Ned battled with a longsword

I haven't found evidence to the contrary, and you might be right about it's practicality in battle. I was (maybe mistakenly) imagining it being similar to Longclaw or Oathkeeper in battle, but it appears to be a much larger sword.

Spoiler: show

some light research says he used it during the greyjoy rebellion. Even with that edge, Sandor still gets my vote
