My vote would have to go to the Rangers. Elves had sharper senses, yes, but Rangers have been trained to do such things as track. They have developed their senses in that area. I think that Gwaihir's point is definitely important too. Even if an Elf could observe the Earth better than a Ranger, I think that the Ranger would be able to better read it. And reading the Earth is basically what tracking is. I would say that Beleg was a better tracker than Aragorn on the basis of the Phantom's quote. Aragorn is a close second though.
