I have got to go with Gandalf. Lower level god, Master Swordsman, master of fire, Defeated a Balrog (also a low level god of fire), came back from the dead. Now, the wizards duel in LOTR the movie is not canonical, so it is an open question as to whether or not Gandalf can withtand or dish out the TK. Also, so far as I can tell from the books, Gandalf's staff is a focus and a place to lean on and a weapon of last resort, not a power in and of iteslf, so arguments that yoda co0uld disarm him of it are moot.

Frankly, assuming that the Magic of the Valar and the Force are more or less equal, then Gandalf's status as Maiar has got to give him more ready access to it that even yoda, jedi grandmaster, has to the force.

The next most likely outcome is a draw.

Finally, I am unsure that, even if you could get them into each other's presence, you could get them to fight each other. They do seem to serve a very similar ethos.
