This should be no contest. Jacob has a shot at the top 8.

Rachel exchanges for Joseph. Thus Rachel is better because Joseph is the 2nd best hero in the game.

Joe is only good with cards like Rachel and Judah. Otherwise, he's good, but not that great. Top 4 maybe, not top 2. At any rate, Jacob is way better than Rachel imho.

Jacob can band to Moses. Jacob wins.

Am I the only one who finds this matchup ironic?

This is the only Blue contest in my book as the others are too lopsided.

Rachael can band to Jacob (which makes playing RTC not susceptible to CM or UW).
Rachael can exchange for Joe or Ben (and their CBN awesomeness).
Rachael makes Simeon's SA work (to take out the little defense an opponent has).

Jacob can band to CotH (for FBN awesomeness).
Jacob can play RTC (for pre-block ignore walkins).

I think I gotta go with Rachael actually.

Jacob can band to CotH (for FBN awesomeness).
Jacob can play RTC (for pre-block ignore walkins).
Jacob can play OoN (for pre-block pwns).
Jacob can band to Prof Oak, who exchanges for Moses (for Blue/Gold FBN awesomeness).
Jacob can play Numerous as the Stars preblock, grabbing any hero out of the deck (for many possible combinations).

Added a few more.
