I'll amend what I said earlier, Thanos only advantages over the Saiyans are raw strength and durability. Energy projection definitely favors the Z characters based on feats. Of course, their energy output is counter productive due to their questionable durability and need to breath.
However, the z characters will have to charge their energy projectiles for at least a minute to be powerful enough to hurt thanos and I don't see him waiting for them to charge it up. Plus the saiyins need to fight powerful enemies would work against them. They eat attacks just for the sake of seeing if it would hurt them and thanos would load up on them with that oppurtunity.
The charge up times are inconsistent. When a new attack is introduced, it tends to have a longer start up time; but if the character has used it for a while, then they can charge it up rather quickly. For example Vegeta's Final Flash took forever against Cell, but he threw it out in seconds against Goku.
