Yeah the Defiant is my favorite ST ship as well.

Death Star vs the Planet Eater from Star Trek : TOS

Although it took a while to destroy a planet, it was more than capable.  It's weapon was a blast of pure 'anti-proton' so effectively an anti-matter cannon.  It had inpenetrable armour and only one weak spot (which unfortunately was big enough to drive a starship through)

I'd give the win to the Death Star only because to attack the DS, the Planet Eater would have to expose it's weak point to the Death Star.

or the updated, warp capable version, with shielding on the mouth,  from the ST:TNG novel Vendetta.  According to the novel the original ship was the prototype of an anti-Borg weapon.  It drove right through a sun and came out unscathed.

As far as V'ger was concerned, didn't it have a number of planets that it had digitized?

Death Star. Because Star Wars is better than Trek.

I have had yet another post vanish into thin air.....

I suggested a Death Star vs Planet Killer from ST:TOS

I give the battle to the Death Star II, only because the planet killer needed to turn it's only vulnerable point towards the DS in order to get a shot at it with it's anti-proton beam.  Now, vs Death Star I, it would depend on which could get the clean shot first.  I'd go with the planet killer.

No, if you go by the ST:TNG novel Vendetta, the planet killer was an early anti-Borg weapon.  The book featured an upgraded, warp capable version with shields over the weak point, which would have kicked serious Death Star ass.  The damn thing drove through a star and came out the other side a little hot but otherwise unscathed.

Book also featured a Ferengi Borg.  He/It  wanted to cut a deal with the Enterprise.....

Your original post is there; if in threaded view, look in the first branch, right under mine my post.

Lets not forget SDF-! Vs DS.
VF-1 Valkires aginst Ties...yeah, baby!
And that Protoculture cannon would atleast toast the Death Stars serface areas. Toasted, no shields, a perfect set up for a Rebel missle attack.

Well, it all depends.

 If it was TOS, everything would come down to a fist fight between Kirk and Darth Vader, in which Kirk's shirt might get torn.

In TNG somebody would simply recalibrate the frequency of the photon flow to set up a progressive single space singularity to create a Rothenburg reaction in Death Star's core. The crew would than have tea with the captain afterwards.

Watched The Five Doctors last week. First time I'd seen it in over 20 years. When Jon Pertwee uttered his trademark "reverse the polarity of the neutron flow" I noted to my wife that the Doctor was spouting that kind of gibberish years before TNG.

[trekgeezer]

Ha!Ha! "reverse the polarity" was the third Doctor's answer to just about everything.

I think from the very little of Voyager I watched, they were the absolute worst about the technobabble. I remember on DS9 once Sisko ordered Worf to the Defiant ready to track someone's ion trail (or some such) and Worf starts into a explanantion of what it will take. Sisko yelled that he didn't want to know the difficulties, just do it!

I admit that I was thinking in the first place of Voyager, but the argument holds for the entire TNG universe.
