Don't know about Tang San, because I never read the novel he is from, but as far as Tact vs. Rudeus is concerned:

Rudeus would win. By a landslide.

Tact relies too much on the equipment he steals from others using his ability. While his level is high, his actual combat skill doesn't even remotely match his level. Also, due to his arrogance he always underestimates and looks down on his opponents.

Rudeus on the other hand has the tendency to overestimate his opponents and is very careful not to get arrogant. If he faces a superior opponent, he uses sneak attacks and tricks to wear down his opponent. Also, he posesses the "Demon eye of foresight", which allows him to foresee Tact's attacks. Also, Rudeus doesn't need to use any incantations whatsoever for his attack magic, making it very hard to predict.

As far as how the battle would probably goo:

1) Tact tries the frontal approach. He's that type of person who'd charge in straight ahead like an idiot.

2) Ruedus avoids Tact's attack using his foresight eye and catches Tact with quagmire ("instant quicksand spell"). Uses the time he bought to put on his "Magical armor Mk I" (mecha magic suit, 3m tall, self-repairing, mini-gun, giant shield and ejection seat)

3) Tact tries to steal the armor with his ability. Still doesn't get that Rudi can see a second or two into the future. Starts whining about Rudi cheating or whatever

4) Tact gets minced by the MkI's minigun and shotgun.

5) There is no 5.
