Each number points to the document that states it, with the exact basis. Values without a number are computed from the sourced ones. "Not sourced" means no citable source states it (or only a specification minimum); figures computed from it are left out too.
Questions
Mechanical
Is Copper C10100 stronger than Titanium?
Titanium is stronger: its yield strength is 885 MPa against 69 MPa for Copper C10100 (12.8x).
Which is lighter, Copper C10100 or Titanium?
Titanium is lighter: 4,430 kg/m³ against 8,941 kg/m³ for Copper C10100.
Which is stiffer, Copper C10100 or Titanium?
Copper C10100 is stiffer: Young's modulus 117 GPa against 115 GPa for Titanium, so the same part in Copper C10100 deflects less under the same load.
Which is lighter for the same job, Copper C10100 or Titanium?
For the same stiffness or strength: Titanium is lighter for a stiff rod or tie (tension), stiff beam (bending), stiff panel or plate, strong rod or tie, strong beam, strong panel or plate.

For the same stiffness or strength, mass scales with density over stiffness (or strength) raised to a power set by how the part is loaded: 1 for a rod in tension, 1/2 for a beam in bending, 1/3 for a panel (the standard material-selection indices).
Which is more ductile, Copper C10100 or Titanium?
Copper C10100 stretches further before it breaks: 45% elongation at break against 16% for Titanium.
Thermal
Which conducts heat better, Copper C10100 or Titanium?
Copper C10100 conducts heat better: 391 W/m·K against 6.6 W/m·K for Titanium.
Which expands less with temperature?
Titanium expands less: 9 µm/m·K against 16.9 µm/m·K for Copper C10100.
