A Borg cube or the Death Star?

The Borg Cube can fire in multiple directions, can achieve transwarp, can adapt to almost any type of incoming energy weapon, and can regenerate when hit.
The Death Star is a slow-moving ball with a gigantic "Shoot This Here" hole in it that got blown up by a kid from the desert.
Sorry, gotta go with the Borg on this one.

Would have to say the Borg as well. With no shields, the Cube could beam drones over and begin assimilating the Death Star from within whilst smaching through TIE fighters and opening fire of the Death Star, the perimeter defences of which would be little more than a scratch to the Cube's shields.
The Death Star is a ridiculously oversized and absurdly vulnerable weapon whose only purpose is to blow up planets - large, undefended, slow moving targets. It wouldn't stand a chance in a serious fight against any well defended, well armed ship, let alone the Borg. Maybe one of the supersized Star Destroyers could fare better - but still, shields and maneuverability are a major advantage.
How about Borg cube vs Vorlon planet destroyer?
Or how many T-16's they have.
The Death Star I superlaser was unable to hit a target the size of a Borg Cube, so the Cube would have forever and a day to take it apart.
The Borg would adapt eventually, but they'd never survive the first hit from the Death Star.
Multiple cubes? The Borg.

Depends. Which one is Batman with? Does he have time to prepare?
The Borg could beam over drones and shut down the Death Star's superlaser before it could ever fire.
He's always prepared.
The Borg can beam over and assimilate the crew. Though, if they did and got a Stormtrooper they would no longer be able to hit anyone with weapons fire or probably even their assimilation tubes, leading to a ever ending corridor fight with no one getting killed.
In the end the only way to break the deadlock would be the first side to deploy the ultimate fighters in the galaxy: Ewoks.

If there were a fleet of Star Destroyers to keep the Borg busy, then it may be possible for the Death Star to get its superlaser up and running in time to destroy a lone Borg cube, assuming the DS is facing roughly the right way at the beginning of combat. Otherwise, given shields and transporters, the Borg would win every time because they could simply transport over to the DS reactor and blow it.
That's the problem with ST v SW, although SW weaponry seems more powerful, and the manpower is considerably higher, Trek Tech such as shields and transporters makes it like comparing chalk and cheese. On this basis, SW, B5, Andromeda and Farscape may be considered comparible (for a slug-fest), and Trek can only really be compared with Stargate.

Wouldn't they just scan it then approach from another direction?
I'm going to go with the Death Star on this one if we are talking ship to ship combat only(On one provision) .. After all it usually takes the Borg at least one or two shots for them to adapt. So if the Death Star is able to hit A Borg cube it would destroy iy in one go.
^If they're able to hit it.
The Borg would win, they're just too fast for them. Plus, if an X-wing can fly by and shoot a torpedo to the deathstar's core, the Borg could teleport a drone somewhere along that path. It'll get aboard and it's all over for the deathstar. The Borg against the force though, the force wins.
Borg: You will be assimilated. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own.
Vader: Don't be too proud of this technological terror you constructed. The ability to assimilate life is insignificant next to the power of the force.
Borg: Resistance is...
Vader: Your lack of faith is disturbing.

It's true a single shot from the death star would destroy a borg cube, but would they hit? That laser didn't look like it could be aimed without just rotating the entire station.
It'd take a long time for the Borg to be able to assimilate the Death Star because it's just so damn huge, but if the goal was to destroy it: "SCANNING. SMALL EXHAUST PORT DETECTED. FIRING WEAPONS DIRECTLY AT EXHAUST PORT".

Neither. It is a draw.
Why? The Borg scan it and realize how silly it is [and not useful to them] thus deeming it unworthy of assimilation.
[If a kid with a glow stick fails to destroy it, and it continues to cause trouble....they may send a few spheres after it if they have the time.
