Cannon vs Ballister.
Which one would do the most damage?...
Add in a Trebuchet.
I know Cannon were much more portable, but, side by side, one round each, who had the most potential for damage.
Then given half an hour, who could do more damage.

OTOH, the cadillac flinging trebuchet the producers borrowed for Twin Peaks would do more damage than the .50 caliber carronade my wife inherited from her dad. |

To me, it sounds like the fairest comparison would be 15th century versions of everything. That's late enough that cannon technology is fairly reliable, but early enough that trebuchets are still being used in siege warfare.
