*Edit*
If it is quality of game, Marik/Liao have both given me some really fun and tough fights (no I'm not trolling Liao as I have been accused of), on par tech and some pretty damn good pilots have been some of the best and most rewarding games I have had.

Individual units not withstanding, faction for faction, everyone else is just drowning kittens.

Clan Wolf and Steiner have been mixed bags, skill and coordination-wise.

Win or lose, the fights often come down to the last drop.

Some of these tough units are in their 3rd faction flip.... contracts for units need to be much longer than for solo players.
But I would rule out any faction that doesn't have a clan/IS border. By definition those who fight IS mechs vs IS mechs are not tough.

They turned quantity of matches into a refinement of quality of matches. Fighting Marik totally skewed my perspective of what CW played like; I got used to every single enemy group functioning like a 12mans on coms and being able to pug and just assume that everyone knew the plan, the tactics, stuck together and played like the whole match would hinge on how well they handled the next 30 seconds -
because generally it did.
Fighting Marik is like fighting the Borg. Got a tactic that works well? Hope you liked using it *that one time*, because 2 drops later they'll be using it *on you* and will have a counter for when you try it again. Davion came into CW with every advantage; a lot of long established units, great internal communications, some amazing tacticians (we had people making training videos in the first few days, coordinating tactics and deployment, etc), tons of pugs and our biggest enemy, Kurita, ended up getting mobbed by people who had no other real enemies.
Marik took several worlds from us, largely fought us to a standstill and didn't start really suffering until Steiner came in with us and Kurita turned away from us completely.
At this point I'm very proud of how badass Davion units are as a whole. It is absolutely fair though to say a lot of our strengths come from fighting Marik units. Beat our head against that brick wall until it gave way. Now we're pretty fearless, hardened and perhaps a bit brain damaged.
o7 Marik.

Perhaps when the Houses who are currently insulated from the Clan's advance finish their circle jerking and find themselves bordered to an Occupation Zone, will we determine the actual toughest faction.

LORD (jade falcon) - long range barricade
and a bunch of marik and FRR pugs or teams: what the (steiner turned marik)- and marik teams from the LCAF hub have in strategy fun, the FRR make up for in fierceness.

Says the guy who's never had to tell his guys that they can't have easy drops killing Wolves because the faction needs them hitting Marik AGAIN.
Mischief can attest to the relief that comes over the 22AL teamspeak when I say "Marik front looks good for tonight, let's do some fun drops."
He really hit the nail on the head when he said they're like fighting the Borg. You've got to set your LPlas frequency to rotating modulation, or they'll just stonewall you for having the hubris to use the same tactic against them two days in a row.
