    So we know that if the channeler knows who the mistborn is and they go head to head channeler has better odds but the great thing about mistborns is theres no trail to say who is fighting you so mistborns want to be just another person in the crowd.We also know that mistborns wont have a chance if its out in a rural area so it needs to be in a city;the bigger the better.

    Now getting on a rooftop and aiming a chunk of metal at a channeler isnt going to work as well as it sounds.The Aes sedei  have warders and they are always watching out ( from years of surprise attacks from the whitecloaks) so you probably will be spotted before hand. Other channelers might not be so cautious so you could get the slip on them if your lucky but that means no way to escape since you will probably be spotted.This also brings into question is a shield of air or spirit stops mistborns ability to push and pull metals inside the "air bubble".
 
    The asha mann and the aes sedei can usually be picked out of a crowd since they where uniforms or have the ageless face.This will make it easy for a well trained mistborn to riot the crowed around the mistborn not the channler themselves. Most people that know what channelers can do have some fear of them and that will be easy to lock on to and riot making the crowd panic. If there are any whitecloaks  or their supporters mistborns could riot their hate   enough to attack the channeler thus causing a distraction.

   Now If it is a trained aes sedei they probably have a warder near by. The warder would undoubtedly be carrying a sword. This could be controlled to either attack the unsuspecting Aes sesei or attack the warder making the channeler go crazy with grief like they do.that would be the easy way. If the Aes sedei know of the mistborn abilities and have removed all the metal (even though i dont see how they could get a warder to give up his sword)then now would be the perfect chance to coin shot them while the crowd is going crazy. 

   Now if the Channelers are  incognito and you knew who they are(as apposed to some random hit) then you could yell some insult or something  to let the crowd know who they are  gaining the ability to riot their emotions. the Mistborn could then just disappear in the crowd.

   If it came to an all out war i think the channelers would win seeing as there are so many more of them. I would love to see a battle between The Lord Ruler and Lews Therin.Maybe in comic book form

  And while we are discussing these two magic systems has EUOL said what category channeling falls under in his magic rating system

I would like to be an Inquisitor.Even a weak Inquisitor is stronger then some of the other mistborns. You wouldn't be able to be really sneaky because everyone would recognize you but no one would every try to pick a fight with you.
