Ok, Galactica or Emperial Star Destroyer
The Galactica or ISD, while I disagree about the size of the Galactica been 2000 feet Larson indicated it was a mile or longer .. so in length the same or a bit longer than a ISD not as tall though.
The film versions showing the fire power of an ISD would on the surface appear to out match the BSG.. but put that down to Lucas having a better understanding of effects .. I beleive that the Galactica is far better armed than we have seen.

But to answer the question:

1a: The Galactica would seem to have better manuvering abilty and faster at
sublight speed turns but has weaker hull plating. IMHO
1b: The ISD heavy hull plates but slow at manuvering in sublight.

2a: Fire power: Galactica is unknown apart from a TV guide stating its has 75
Turbo Lasers also 75 Vipers .. (I think it should be 75 per landing bay it has
the room.
2b:or not 2b.
Fire power . Star Destroyer is armed with 60 Turbolaser cannons, and an array
of missile and tractor beam tubes. (thanks Martok) Ion cannons.
3a: support fighters as other have stated the fact's in other posts . but I think
that the verity of fighter are in the Stardestroyer's corner..

So therefor after much delibration I think as much as it pains me to say ..

The StarDestroyer would win.. Un less!!! the BIG G put planty of fier power in to the Bridge or Landing bay..
