So now I'm gonna do the same thing with the Forest types. For all I know it may be that the Manor types are the only types where differences exist. We'll see.
Fighting is higher in the sample. A different sample could get a higher value for Fire. It's like you got a "low damage row" for Fire and a "high dame row" for Fighting.
As you will check which type is better for each area, let's put some statiscs theory on it:
I performed a hypotesis test (google it ^^) for your Fire x Fighting data and got a p-value of 0.286, which statiscally means the proportions are the same. So, just confirming, what you said: neither is better. I won't go into further details, but a p-value around 0.05 or less is needed in order to be nearly sure the proportions are different.
Ghost x Dark (for manor) gets a p-value of 0.00006, which statiscally means Ghost and Dark get different proportions (so, Ghost is better). Dark x Psychic gets p-value of 0.656 (thus, they are equal).

Well, statistics just confirms what you said:
Mountain: Fire = Fight
Manor: Ghost > Dark = Psychic

On a final note, a bigger sample may influence the p-values, even though it's VERY unlikely (but possible) to get a different conclusion.
