If you took two identical slabs of freshly hardened concrete and poured X amount of water on one with the average pressure of a person pouring water from a bucket to a surface ~3 feet below said bucket and set an ice cube made of X amount of water on top of the other and let it melt which slab of concrete would erode the most?
I would figure the ice cube'd slab because it's being wet for a much longer period of time but it's still the same amount of water right?

The first. Erosion by water is caused by a combination of the amount of water and the velocity of it. With the quantities matched, the added velocity is going to provide extra erosion.
It's also worth noting that repeated freeze-thaw cycles can crack concrete and significantly speed up erosion, but in your case it's just going to be a single cycle and probably won't have much effect.

That's a pretty intuitive answer that makes sense to me, thanks anon.

Well that got resolved
Now what do we do next?

Teach OP some grammatical rules. wew

Ice slab would erode faster because the erosion rate is enhanced by liquid water getting into little imperfections in the concrete then freezing and breaking the concrete up as it expands.

Pour some isopropyl alcohol on it if you wanna fuck it up.
