Depends on the snake. A puff adder would annihilate a lamprey

Too many variables when you are putting a genus up against a suborder.

Depends on the kind of snake and lamprey. Most species of lamprey don't even feed on fish like the ones ypu're probably thinking of.

Overall I would say snake though. Lampreys don't kill their prey, they just parasitize them for a short period of time. Where as in most cases, the snake does aim to kill.
