Say Uncle + The Return. Avengers because Cap's shield.

Steven's is energy based, while Cap's is literally indestructible. Hawkeye can match, or even surpass, Opal's bow proficiency. Hulk can stand toe-to-toe with Garnet easily; maybe even Sugalite. Black Widow would have a range advantage using various guns, which, mind you, would be lethal to gems too. Iron Man can fly, and depending on the suit, could surpass HULK'S Power. Thor is a GOD. enough said.

Even with the core team alone, I believe the Avengers would win. however, if we go with the exetended team, we've also got Scarlet Witch, War Machine, Falcon, and Vision... the Gems don't stand a chance.
