The A-10 Thunderbolt II is set to go up against the F-35 in a series of weapons tests as early as next year under a stipulation in the latest National Defense Authorization Act, the annual defense policy and spending bill. The legislation also prohibits retirement of the Warthog until the Air Force can prove the F-35’s ability to conduct close air support missions on the battlefield. (Comments)

The A-10 because it's proven itself time & time again, however the capabilities of the F-35 wouldn't surprise me for Close Air Support one bit...

That would depend on the mission you are asking it to perform.
SEAD/DEAD - F-35
A/A - F-35
ISR - F-35
CAS - A-10
