I actually kind of dislike phrasing things as "Who's stronger?" in RWBY, unless we're talking physical strength. I dislike it because, a lot of the time, who would win in a fight boils down to factors other than "Who's stronger". For example, Neo is not necessarily stronger than Yang. By all rights, Yang is likely physically stronger than Neo, and her Semblance grants her even more strength. However, Neo's fighting style is an excellent counter to the fighting style Yang used at the time that they fought in No Brakes.

It tends to boil down to fighting styles, weapons, skill sets, and experience.

So, in a fight between Amber and Pyrrha, it would depend on how their skill sets, fighting styles, and weapons counter each other. It would also depend on whether Amber is still a Maiden in this hypothetical. Amber's weapon being a wooden staff with Dust crystals certainly takes away the advantage Pyrrha tends to have over her opponents because there is no metal on Amber's weapon.
