I’m going with Guinan. She’s a bartender, and everyone knows bartenders give the best advice.
Talos IV vs. Lando Calrissian’s Cloud City as a vacation spot.
I also want to say I’m glad this thread has gone the way I envisioned when I started it.

We sure see her wear a lot more stuff.
In play:
You can be executed for visiting Talos IV. Cloud City, even under Imperial rule, is not as inevitably fatal.
Harry Mudd or Han Solo try to talk their way past a blockading starship.
The whole point of the Falcon is that Han can run blockades rather than having to talk his way past them. Harry Mudd would come out the other side richer than when he was first stopped.
Picard v. Chewbacca in dramatic overemoting.
If I may be permitted an aside, Harry is much more eloquent than Han Solo. “A little present for being so helpful, guard, buy something for the ladies.” as opposed to “Fine…everything’s…fine.”
That was my thinking.
In play:
Chewbacca, although much more limited in his English vocabulary, definitely overemotes more than ol’ Jean-Luc.
Teenage Wesley Crusher or teenage Anakin Skywalker in a bare-knuckle boxing match?
Fair to say, but the Dohlman never got her own movie.
We all win when they both fatally lose?
Enterprise Transporter Technology vs. the Force?
I believe “I find your lack of faith disturbing” wins hands down over, “Gentlemen, beam me up!”
Janeway’s coffee vs. Tea, Earl Grey, hot.
That’s Trek v. Trek! Disqualified!
Janeway’s coffee vs. Tea, (James) Earl (Jones) Grey, hot.
Fixed it for you.
Well, Frack!
Thank you, Sir.

Neelix vs. Jar Jar Binks at golf.
Jar-Jar impales himself on the club–billions rejoice.
Khan vs The Emperor–in Thumb Wrestling.
The dark side trumps eugenics.
The Doctor (voy) v. O.B. droid in an water balloon toss.
The Doctor can just re-project himself where the balloon’s going to land. Easy.
The holographic projection of Moriarty vs. the spooky tree on Dagobah where the only danger is what you bring with you.
Yes, yes! Happy, Happy Joy-Joy!
How rood. Meesa no happy.
Sorry, I can’t hear you due to the celebratory music. Go I must.
Back in play: The holographic projection of Moriarty vs. the spooky tree on Dagobah where the only danger is what you bring with you.
Moriarty’s smart enough to win this one.
Chekhov vs. Luke Skywalker in a yodeling contest.
Luke Skywalker has a louder voice and might have yodeled while being alone so much on Tatooine. Somehow, I just picture him as being able to yodel.
Q vs. Darth Vader at the Comedy Club’s open mic night.
Digression:
“Hissssss I just flew in from LA, and Sith, are my arms tired! Hisssssssss”
Dead silence.
“I find your lack of amusement disturbing.”
Wild, raucous laughter.
Q’s jokes might be cruel, capricious, and reality-warping, but at least he can tell them. All Vader’s got is “don’t choke on your aspirations”.
Next: The Horta vs. BB8 in ultimate frisbee.
