One thing you all managed to overlook, which is one main component to how much power a single person wields in battle is the weapons that they use, and how they use them in accordance with their fighting skills and their own tallents
Faramir:Sword-Bow:Ranger(he can hide more easily and more or less blend in with his surroundings if he would like

Gimli:Axes (many Axes):As mentioned Gimli is very enduring and dexterious, plus Gimli's fighting style is that more about a beserker, and it is shown in REAL history that even the greatest armies including the romans had trouble fighting and to hand with tribes that used axes and fought with a more or elss "beserker" style, Plus gimli is a Dwarf, so he is shoer, that enables him an ADVANTAGE, if the oponent has to swing downward to hit gimli it is much harder for him to deliver a death blow or critical hit

Eomer:Sword-Lance: Eomer is, as we all know a Rider of Rohan, so not only is he proficent in fighting on foot he can also fight on his steed, fighting on a horse would grant Eomer invaluable mobility and the chance for a very strong first strike with a lance, which would render most oponents helpless

Theoden:Sword, I can not say much for theoden for we did not see much of his fighting style, Theoden, to me, seems much more like a cavileer or a paladin, But also, Theoden IS old, and as we can see, he can not handle his own horse, he proabably could not stand up to many in hand to hand battle

Ugluk:Sword, Ugluk is an Uruk-Hai, plain and simple, Yes Eomer bested him in battle, but Eomer had the suprise attack, Eomer was battle ready and Ugluk was not, anyway, Ugluck fights much like Gimli does, and the Uruk-Hai are bread as warriors and nothing more, they have no contious no morality no weaknesses, they are bread and tought not to feel pain and are driven into a sort of bloodlusted state in battle, Which would make him a formidable oponent
