I wonder whats more difficult for Dash to compete against : Bitcoin Cash ABC (Favoured by: Roger Ver) or Bitcoin Cash SV (Leader: Craig Wright) ?
I suspect the answer is Bitcoin Cash ABC, as that includes smart contract abilities, oracle services and scaling improvements all aimed at reducing transaction costs.

The Bitcoin ABC split campaign is based on the belief that the basic structure of Bitcoin Cash is “sound”, and “does not need any radical change”. However, improving some of the network features is necessary for its further development,
according to the faction’s roadmap. Proposed upgrades include smart contract abilities, oracle services, and scaling improvements, all of which are aimed at reducing transaction costs at its core.
The future development of Bitcoin Cash is seen by the developers as the implementation of three core ideas.
* Improving 0-conf transactions for making the payment experience instant and reliable without changes to the consensus rules.
* Enabling massive on-chain scaling through the removal of the mempool admittance code and mining RPC.
* Improving fungibility.
With “Adjustable Blocksize Cap” as the faction’s name and slogan, this most popular Bitcoin Cash client also acts in the interest of node operators and intends to allow them “to adjust their block size limit.” The changes are planned to be implemented
by “removing software bottlenecks.”
Bitcoin Cash SV (dominant in hash rate)
The Bitcoin ABC views are opposed by the Bitcoin SV faction. Created on August 16 by the Blockchain development firm belonging to Craig Wright, who has previously declared himself Satoshi Nakamoto, the faction actively promotes the idea of
radical changing the current Bitcoin Cash structure. Its split is designed to entirely overwrite the network scripts of Bitcoin ABC and increase the block size of Bitcoin Cash from 32MB to a maximum of 128MB, all of which are expected to increase
network capacity and scale.
Promoting “miners choice: miners first” philosophy, Bitcoin SV intends to win miners’ votes by restoring the original Bitcoin protocol and promising long-term revenues.
Also by having Bitcoin Cash SV publicly threaten to hash-attack competing crypto projects (any competing crypto project !) by mining empty blocks on their blockchains, it has damaged Bitcoin Cash SV's reputation in my opinion
and makes it therefore more easy to compete against.
https://www.trustnodes.com/2018/11/12/calvin-ayre-and-craig-wright-allegedly-plan-to-attack-btc-eth-all-cryptosCoingeek has an exclusive deal with Squaremining for the production of ASICS chips that are being manufactured in Korea by Samsung.
Once they shore up their power with sha256 asics machines, likely attacking and destroying sha256 networks like Namecoin and Factom, they can set their sight on the manufacture of chips on other algorithms and begin to go after
the altcoins which inevitably absorb a large portion of the fractured bitcoin cash community. Coins like Litecoin, Zcash and Dash are obvious targets, but no Proof of Work coin that gains any traction or represents any threat to Coingeek’s
and nChain’s total dominance of this space, will be safe.
With the proven track record of being able to launch successful takeovers of bitcoin derivative networks, they will march on their ultimate goal: the BTC network.
Question remains though how vulnerable Proof of Work crypto projects like Litecoin, Zcash, Monero, Ethereum and Dash are to these hash wars.
