That depends on how you define "strongest". Made in Heaven seems to be permanent while GER isn't, and Made in Heaven seems to be able to affect a larger radius. But a straight up confrontation between Giorno and Pucci? GER would set it to zero and kill Pucci the moment he tries to attack.

You could argue Made in Heaven is the more powerful Stand, but GER would almost certainly win in a fight. That'd get the infinity vs zero argument back I guess... however even then GER may win (I'd say Pucci has infinite acceleration, not speed: if his speed were to be truly infinite Jotaro's time stop wouldn't be a problem at all for him). GER may not be able to stop the acceleration but it may be able to hit Pucci(heck, even GE's base abilities should be awesome for combat if Pucci doesn't know about them: wrap Giorno all over in thorns, MiH hits Giorno, all the damage goes back to Pucci).

Yet I'd still argue that since there's no fight that I remember as a 1 vs 1 like DIO vs Jotaro (without sneaking around or trying to trick the opponent that doesn't know how the stand works... heck not even that's a good example due to Jotaro trying to deceive DIO as being dead). If Pucci were to know somehow about GER, him doing what he did (avoiding Giorno and accelerating time anyway) is still valid.

After all every fight in this series is to reach a purpose, there's no sparing or fighting to see who's the best/strongest like in DBZ. I feel that every single possible tactic is valid to win here.

In the scenario I see it'd be Giorno vs Pucci as it was in the manga: one would wish to stop the infinite acceleration, the other would want it to continue. Pucci won in the end. A conflict doesn't necessary has to end in one of the contendants dying or even getting harmed. I know this seems sort of... too open? (Given the right circumstances almost anyone can win against anyone) but given how versatile the strategies and stand powers are in this series I can't think otherwise.
