This is quite the tossup considering how different the universes they come from are. Ignoring that detail; each one has their own pros and cons.
Widow has insane damage and never misses a headshot according to lore (not your everyday plat widow - more like a Kephrii).
Caitlyn has a faster draw speed and more versatility in her kit. Her traps are better than venom mine but it is a lot harder for her to get to a higher vantage point unlike Widow.
Widow has the advantage of surprise. She is able to get the angle on on her prey and usually gets the first shot, killing before anyone can react.
However, Caitlyn is extremely smart and would probably be able to read Widow's moves. They are both very intelligent, but in my opinion Caitlyn is the slightly smarter one.
But then you have Widowmaker's ultimate. Wallhacks. While walls are up, Caitlyn would not be able to move and she would have to be very alert of any angle that Widow would come from. Including a jumpshot from the sky.
This is where I struggle with the comparison. While I think Caitlyn could outshoot Widow once she knows where she is (significantly due to her draw speed), wallhacks are where Cait has no chance.
Combat Verdict: I think they are mostly even. I'm interested in seeing what others think.
I love both characters so I'm trying not to be biased. Both have won my heart and that's the only true battle they will ever face together.
