Avengers, or Episode IX? I know Star Wars comfortably won the battle back in 2015, but that was a big comeback against a middle chapter. This is two saga closers. We can probably safely assume Endgame will do more around the rest of the world, but in the US?

Endgame will reign supreme. The Last Jedi has divided fans so much that I think Solo wasn't the first won't be the only casualty of it.
I still think IX will make BANK, but it'll be less than the previous two.

Avengers, and probably quite easily. Star Wars will do fine but the franchise really has lost its luster with the masses (though I do think The Last Jedi is still the best film in the franchise), whereas the MCU is the shiny toy for the current generation.

Endgame. The Last Jedi has indeed managed to put off a small portion of the viewers while Avengers are only raising their bar.
Although I kinda sorta wonder if The Lion King can fuck them both. I don't think it will but what if...

Unless Endgame is spectacularly bad and Episode IX is The Empire Strikes Back-level good, Endgame will easily win the domestic battle.

Star Wars trilogies have actually fallen into a nice pattern at the box office - there's an inverted bell curve, with the first part grossing the most and the second part grossing the least. The Empire Strikes Back grossed 68% of what A New Hope made and Return of the Jedi grossed 82%. Attack of the Clones grossed 70% of The Phantom Menace and Revenge of the Sith grossed 88%. The Last Jedi grossed 66% of The Force Awakens.
Based on all that, let's conservatively estimate that Episode IX grosses 78% of The Force Awakens. That would put its grosses at $730 million. Obviously, there's some guesswork there and potential unknown factors, but it seems like a reasonable estimate.
The real question, though, is what will Endgame do relative to Infinity War? Marvel sequels generally do better than their predecessors (Age of Ultron is a notable exception), but this isn't an ordinary situation.
This battle will probably end up being close.

Both will fare well with repeat business. Marvel fans will see End Game multiple times to talk about how much they love it, and Star Wars fans will see IX multiple times to talk about how much they hate it.

Endgame will make more IMO.
Is Star Wars E.9 even a proper closer? All the original characters are out. What ending could there even be to the saga?

Out of these two: Endgame. However, I don't think it will be the highest grosser this year.
