This is a mismatch. The thing about comic book match ups is that many forget the power difference between characters.
The Black Panther is a low superhuman that has defeated rhinos in a hand to hand fight with difficulty, Iron Man is an S tier who has fought the Hulk and Won. You see where I’m going, but many have stated that it’s not a physical match up that decides the fight, but the intellectual side of the battle, and on that side it’s not gonna go much better for T’challa anyway.

So, as others have pointed out, Black Panther has outsmarted Tony three times, but there’s several issues with this, the first, and smallest is that in one of these times he had the black blade (I think that’s its name), which is not in his standard arsenal, and is literally able to cut anything. That gives a massive advantage to Black Panther, one that he would not have in this fight.
The second issue is much more important, these are older armors for Tony Stark, now this may not seem like a big deal but in 2/3 fights Tony and T’challa have had T’challa has won by overriding Tony’s armor or hacking it or something of the sort. Since then however, Tony has fixed all of these issues and more. Now Tony’s armor is completely immune to EMP’s, Phasing, Internal attacks, Magic, and Telepathy.
But he still has his ego right?

Well… yes, but not to the same extent. Since the events of Civil War Tony has moderated his character a good deal, arguably because of the more moderated version of him in the MCU. Regardless he no longer believes he is the best at everything and he prepares for every eventuality.
In addition to this overall Tony is just… smarter. He’s defeated Reed Richards in 5 chess matches at the same time, is considered the greatest multitasker in his universe and has outsmarted alien civilizations centuries ahead of him easily many times. Black Panther is a genius, but he’s not quite on Tony’s level.

And can we go back to the Physicals for a second?!? T’Challa’s suit is LACED with vibranium not made of it but regardless it would allow him to not be one shotted by Tony. But in spite of that Tony is faster (5 times the speed of light is his record), more durable (Tanking a nuke without an issue), Stronger (knocking out the hulk, pulling of thousands of tons worth of ships, etc), and most importantly, more versatile. Black Panther has some crazy weapons, phasing knives and more, but this doesn’t compare AT ALL to Tony Stark. His recent armors are nanotechnology and respond to his thoughts meaning that he can literally make any weapon he wants in a fight. Be it Sonics capable of killing the juggernaut, shields to imprison Apakolyps, or just…. okay, I don’t know what to even call that.

As an aside, “I like Donuts” is allot cooler in context.
Anyway you see what I mean. Iron Man is so far ahead of Black Panthers stats it’s not even funny. The Panther is low superhuman, that’s it, for that level he’s impressive, but Iron man is several tiers above him. Bottom line is, Black Panther is a human king, and Tony Stark is, according to Thor, the equivalent to a god.

Iron Man wins.
Again, as an aside, I’m pretty sure Iron Man is a god. He made himself functionally immortal by downloading his consciousness into his armor. People worship him. He is powerful enough, and Thor himself believes he is basically a god.
You know, come to think of it, all things considered Tony is pretty humble.

Blake Horner Iron Man extraordinaire

This is a really close call battle. Whether we are talking the MCU or the comics. It really is hard to decide.

Marvel Cinematic Universe
Tony Stark

T’Challa

These two heroes are very cool and well-fleshed-out characters. Based on this, I give the win to Iron Man.
Here is my reasoning. The T’Challa we see in the movies, as cool as he is and as (relatively) good a leader he is, we have NEVER seen him show the level of intelligence that Tony Stark possesses. He is smart, yes, but he doesn’t possess the sort of cunning and tactical thinking that his comic counterpart does. Think about it, would the comic version of him ever allow this sort of battle:

Happen in his home country? No, he wouldn’t of. In the comics, he is under a LOT more pressure from the outside world than in the MCU. They have the best military tech on earth in the comics, and his tactical thinking allows him to go toe to toe with ATLANTIS at one point. Based on just this, Tony Stark far, FAR outstrips him in intelligence. The Black Panther suit in the movies is a creation of his sister, who is supposedly the rival to Tony Stark (I have my own opinions on that, but that’s another topic).
Speaking of the suit, let’s take a look at its capabilities. It is a vibranium nanoweave that can contract into his necklace, and can absorb kinetic energy, then release it in a single wave.

And…it has vibranium claws…uuuuuuuuhhhh… That’s it. The suit has no long distance weaponry, it doesn’t grant him anything more than armor, which, by the way, can be overwhelmed with enough firepower, as we saw in his battle against the Wakandan army. It also doesn’t hinder his fighting capabilities, but it really is nothing more than an advanced suit of medieval armor.
He is also a good martial artist, and has the extra strength and speed boost that comes with being the Black Panther.
Let’s look at Iron Man on the other hand. Tony Stark, genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist. A prodigy from birth, Tony was building circuit boards at age 4, and his first engine at age 6. He is considered one of the smartest people in the MCU, and has proven that his ingenuity knows no bounds. He has built armors to go up against literal gods:

(Okay, it wasn’t MEANT to go up against gods but you know what I mean. He held his own for a while there)
as well as some of the strongest beings in his universe:

And won I might add. All of this compounds the fact that Iron Man is now at a god level in the MCU:

He fought Thanos one on one while Thanos had FOUR INFINITY STONES. He destroyed creatures formed by the reality stone. He took the full brunt of a hit from the moon the Mad Titan destroyed using the space and power stones.

Heck, he BLOCKED a shot from the Power Stone, you know the stone used to destroy entire PLANETS?

The one used to hurt Thor at the beginning of the movie just by TOUCHING him?

Yeah, Tony took a blast from that thing. In other words, with that new nanotech Mark L Model Prime armor, there is no way Black Panther can get through his armor now. His vibranium claws MIGHT be able to scratch it, but the suit can just repair itself. He can’t do enough damage in enough time to get to the human underneath it.
And none of this takes into account that Iron Man can fly and has military grade weapons mounted on every armor, enough to destroy tanks in a single blow.

(One of my favorite photos of him. BTW, that is his Mark III doing that. He is now on Mark L (50). Imagine the difference in firepower now.)
So I don’t doubt that with the Mark L he could overwhelm T’Challa’s armor and beat him that way. Or its possible that in his study of Cap’s shield (they imply this at the beginning of AoU) that he has figured out the resonant frequency of T’Challa’s armor and overwhelm it with sonic attacks. (Another thing, FRIDAY showed in AoU in the Battle of Sokovia that she could analyze events happening in real time and study materials unknown to her to find such things. Like when Tony hit the vibranium in the center of Ultron’s asteroid with a specific vibrational frequency to try and destabilize it.)
So Iron Man of the MCU wins.

COMICS
Comic wise is a little more difficult.
In the comics, T’Challa is not only a born leader, he is essentially Batman of his world. He can outwit practically anyone, and has outdone Iron Man three separate times. Thing is, Tony’s ego is actually a lot bigger than the MCU one’s is (imagine that). He doesn’t believe anyone is better than him, and believes he is infallible…until the day he is fighting Black Panther for the third time, about to win, only for Panther to shut down his arc reactor, or his artificial heart in the comics, with an Ultron virus. What a way to have your ego broken, am I right?

He mentions he develops countermeasures for nearly every hero in defense of his country. This T’Challa is FAR superior to Iron Man in tactical thinking. He even rivals Captain America in his prowess. He is also far smarter than his MCU version, with the Black Panther suit’s improvements being developed by himself and his sister. He has access to a lot more technology, especially in the computer department.
BUT!
Something I noticed after looking through the three times Black Panther has beaten Iron Man…these all take place BEFORE Iron Man had developed Jarvis. In other words, his suits had no computer defense at these times except the firewalls he put in beforehand.
SO! Based on that, this battle could go either way honestly. If Stark is smart and doesn’t let his ego get the better of him, he has some very impressive armors, like the Hulkbuster, Thorbuster, Bleeding Edge, and Endosym armors, that have gone against some of the strongest beings in the world and universe. They could overwhelm Black Panther from a distance, as even when he is wearing the vibranium plated version of the suit, there is a limit of how much damage he can take.
But if he decides to try and outdo Black Panther at his own game of hand to hand combat, unless he has the Bleeding Edge armor, which has been shown to move faster than an Extremis soldier was able to track, he is screwed big time. Keep in mind, a NORMAL human can track a human-sized object moving at up to 9000 mph. And an Extremis soldier is even faster.

Now, if he is in the Bleeding Edge, he might stand a chance, as his strength is superior to Black Panther’s and that suit’s speed may even be better. But because T’Challa probably prepared for this, he would have to be very careful about how he engaged. If he moves in for close quarters combat, it will probably be T’Challa’s win. If he goes in with one of his god-level armors, like the Thorbuster (which had to move faster than the speed of light to be able to fight him) It is Iron Man’s win. If he flies out of range of T’Challa, it either goes to him for simply having longer-ranged weapons, or it is T’Challa’s win if they are in Wakandan territory with their AA guns and weaponry.
Suffice it to say, this battle is heavily reliant on multiple factors. There is no clear cut winner here. But, because I do need to give someone whom I believe would win, here it is. Essentially, as much as I like him, his ego is too much. Tony Stark would probably be able to win just a little under half the time. The majority of the wins would go to T’Challa for the fact he is much cooler under pressure in the comics and better tactical-wise for battle.
The winner of the comics is T’Challa, the Black Panther.

(Yes, that is T’Challa smacking Tony Stark lol :P You’re welcome. Tony was a bit drunk)
