I need more info about Puckett, so I will not cast a vote yet.

In AP, they are very similar, and tho Puckett has the advantage, Balrog's damage boost can make up for that in some instances, but overall they're about the same.

The deciding point will be their skill, since I feel the battle is a "variety vs experience".

Puckett is more, acrobatic, has higher LS and can capture Balrog from distance with her ribbon.

On the other hand, Balrog is very experienced and skilled, despite his brutish demeanor, and has fought opponents who fight in a similar way (Vega, Fang, Ibuki), with a similar size (Ibuki), who fight with tools to capture the opponent (Birdie with his chains).

So Red has a black belt in karatedō and has even won at least a few championships. Against similarly sized opponents to herself it can be said she tries to stay on the offensive while on larger opponents she focuses more on dodging and waiting for an opening. Can't find this clip on YouTube but she has used the latter tactic to get a usage of her restraining weapon in her fight against giants Hansel and Gretel.

I'd say that Balrog has more than enough tools to keep up with her.
Most of the notable characters in SF are either masters, champions or gifted pratictioners of their own discipline, and Balrog keeps up with them all the time. Among the characters he's fought there are Chun-Li, Juri, Vega, Fang and Ibuki, all fighters who use a very acrobatic fighting style, so Balrog is used at fighting such enemies and wouldn't be surprised or overwhelmed by a similar combatant.

How likely is for Puckett to restrain the opponent with her ribbon and how resistant is it?
I think wrapping up Balrog is her best wincon, assuming the ribbon is hard enough to not being snapped.
Tho I want to say that Balrog has also fought Birdie, who basically does the same with his chains, so he isn't new at facing such strategy.
