Speaking as a Brit, definitely stripers. I've landed a 40lb striper on a boat, and a 20 lb from the surf.
That said, I never had the pleasure of fighting a large pike. Big Esox are few and far between. I've heard some stories, though....
By the way, just checked Wikipedia - confirmed what I understood - record weight of 77 lb and 6 ft long. Some of these come from the Scottish/Irish lochs, and I have seen footage of coots and moorhens (waterfowl) being taken out by pike......
