Ant battles are always epic.
Question, are there argentine ants in Arizona?

Is there any native species we have in North America that can compete with them?

Nylanderia seems to have driven them out of Simi Valley, but they are not native either...

I don't think they're everywhere. Without looking anything up, I know for sure that California is one of the main places where they are though. If they are in your area of the US, then they will usually only be found in the city where there's lots of water.

Yeah - they can't withstand dry conditions as well as most native western species. It seems to me that it is our extreme modification of the environment that allows them to survive at all.
Also, here is a study somewhat related to this topic - "Aggressive interactions between Solenopsis invicta and Linepithema humile under laboratory conditions."
