I guess elves would have to be the obvious choice. If any of the Noldor in exile at Rivendell (before they left) could have been coaxed out to fight a warg-charge to settle our debate, I'd say they'd perform the best. The High Elves were by far the best warriors of all the free peoples of Middle-Earth. They are stronger, and faster, and more resistant to injury and wounds than men, and the Light of the Trees would be still in their eyes (or the Light of Aman in their faces, Tolkien uses both phrases excessively in the Silmarillion). The elves were meant to be the mightiest peoples of Arda. So I'd say I guess they'd do the best. It would be a cake-walk for Glorfindel (who it is possible might have been the same Glorfindel who slew the Balrog at the fall of Gondolin? What's the concensus on that one?).
As to tactics, obviously mixed formation pikes, archers. A reserve of melee armed troops to plug gaps in the line or dispatch any of the wargs who got inside the reach of the pikes would also be a necessity.
