Overall? Zed if you are good at outplaying you opponent. A huge part of dueling is evading enemy damage and not many champions in LoL are as good as Zed at it. Plus he has anti tank burst with BotRK, which is a really strong asset.

If you don't want to count assassins, I'll say it depends on the game's fase. Full build Jax is by far my favourite pick with Aatrox, Tryndamere and Fiora close behind. Earlygame, though? Darius, Udyr, Vi, Lee and Xin are up there; probably better off than any of the late game duelists through most of the duration of the game.
