Winner: Tied

Regarding largest aperture: A lower aperture number means that the widest aperture on the lens is larger. This means that more light will hit the sensor and also that the depth of field will be shallower, better separating your subject from the background.

4. Focus Distance Comparison

Winner: Sony FE 70-200mm f2.8 GM OSS II

Regarding minimum focus distance: The minimum focus distance of a lens is the smallest distance from the lens to the subject you want to be in focus; subjects closer than the lens' minimum focus distance will not be in focus. Whether or not this is important to you is up for you to decide, but some want to take close photos and videos and in those cases it's important to have a lens with a low minimum focus distance.

5. Lens Type Comparison

Prime lenses have a fixed focal length and cannot be zoomed, while zoom lenses have a focal length range and can be zoomed in to get closer to the subject.

Winner: Tied — It depends on your gear

Regarding filter thread diameter: The filter thread diameter is the size of which the lens is compatible with screw-on filters, such as CPL, ND or IR filters. If you have several lenses of a certain size, it might be a good idea to keep the same filter thread size to make sure your filters work on all your lenses. If not, then you may buy step up rings to adapt from a certain diameter to the filter thread diameter of your other lenses.

7. Weather Seal Comparison

Both Sony FE 70-200mm f2.8 GM OSS II and Fujifilm Fujinon XF 50-140mm f/2.8 R LM OIS WR feature a weather sealed design, making them both great in that aspect.
