For example, the Red Death we saw disregarded its dragons and immediately fought in person. Valka's Bewilderbeast had its dragons fight alongside it (probably a huge advantage). Drago's Bewilderbeast... I honestly don't know since it always follows Drago's commands and therefore reflects Drago's personality. But from what it is in the movie, it seems indifferent to the other dragons, possibly because Drago never fully allowed it to develop in a true Alpha role. But all things equal, and the alpha question ignored, here are my thoughts.

Red Death:

+Flight is a huge plus.

+Extremely powerful stream of fire, possibly enough to break a Bewilderbeast's armor.

+The weakness exploited by Toothless/Hiccup cannot be exploited by a Bewilderbeast.

-Has no element of surprise.

Bewilderbeast

+Ice can neutralize (and probably overpower) a Red Death's attack.

+Attacking/Retreating from/into water is an advantage. Especially since this has a significant element of surprise.

+Huge tusks for close combat

-Slow on ground

-No flight

So, yeah, I think it depends on temperament and conditions.
