Oh that's a tough one. I'd give it to Shino/Hinata over Shikamaru/Ino. Hinata can see his shadows coming or Ino's attack coming at her to dodge. Shikimaru and Ino also don't have a way to stop the sheer amount of insects Shino can through at them. Plus between the two parties Shino and Hinata have much more offensive/defensive power and Shikimaru may be a genius Shino isn't a slouch either. He isn't as smart as Shikimaru, but he's smart enough to challenge him just enough to take the win with superior numbers and combat prowess. Shikimaru and Ino work well as a pair, but they need a full team to really shine since Ino needs to be guarded for her jutsu often leave her vulnerable.
