Short answer: the Teufel Rockster Neo. It ranks #4 of 17 battery-powered PA speakers by sound quality, rated 4.2/5, at $807.72. The JBL Eon One Compact ranks #15, rated 2.9/5, at $599, $208.72 cheaper, not enough of a saving to outweigh the sound-quality gap.
The Teufel Rockster Neo is the better-sounding, longer-running option. A big battery party and PA speaker with a 12 inch woofer, stereo sound, long battery life, and two mic or instrument inputs. It is rated for 36 hours of battery against 12 for the JBL Eon One Compact. It is rated IP44, while the JBL Eon One Compact has no water resistance. It supports AAC Bluetooth, which the JBL Eon One Compact lacks. The catch: Not quite as good sounding as the JBL Partybox 330 or Electro-Voice Everse 12.
The case for the JBL Eon One Compact: A light battery PA speaker with a four channel mixer, phantom power for condenser mics, and a swappable 12 hour battery. Watch for: Quite distorted at full volume.
Buy the Teufel Rockster Neo. It is rated higher for sound quality, and saving $208.72 with the JBL Eon One Compact does not make up for the sound-quality gap.
