I am a pretty tall, broadly built man, so obv I'm a little biased because I'm reasonably confident that I could kill another man if it came to it. However, the concept of this question bothers me, because it doesn't indicate what kind of bear. Trust me, if you ever come face to face with a fully grown grizzly, you'd prefer the man. Monsters are real, and they can destroy you on accident, while men have weak necks and unprotected kidneys.

If I was dead either way though, obv I'd rather it be an emotionless grizzly who'd tear me apart pretty quickly.

Honestly it doesn't matter too much what species. Black bears will happily eat you too, playing dead also doesn't work for them. Polar bears are basically instant death whenever the bear feels like it, they don't fear humans. Koala wouldn't be so bad I suppose. Pandas are somewhat dangerous if they decide to attack

Koalas aren't bears though. So I guess that pushes up the average danger of your set of bears.
