I'd have to go with a UNSC Destroyer.
But if I have to have firepower on my side, well.
Also, Kobi, why do Eve ships look so fugly?

The ship is pretty cool looking. But it is a fifth of the size of Atlantis, and has much less firepower. Not to mention Atlantis' wormhole drive, which has to be the coolest piece of technology (in my opinion) in all of sci-fi.
Does it have less firepower? I haven't seen Atlantis wipe out all life on a planet in 2 minutes. Their drones, while incredibly agile and accurate, don't seem to be that powerful either.

That's just the Nova bombs (I don't know, I'm assuming that's what you're talking about). You could just as easily give the Nova bombs to Atlantis, while drones wouldn't work on the Andromeda without major modifications.
Anyway, I would like to let this video do the talking:
There. Drones win.

Atlantis never had that many drones.
Plus, if you give nova bombs to atlantis, you need to give them the nova bomb launchers. If you give the drones to the Andromeda, you need to give it the chair as well. Problem solved. Fact is if we go around saying "Ah well this ship's got awesome firepower but I can just take its weapons and put it on my own" then this entire thread is pointless since we might as well just take the best of EVERY ship and put it in one.

Yes. That's the point. It has small guns, so they flew it through a Star Destroyer's bridge. The Sun Crusher was undamaged. But there was only ever one, and it was a prototype, and as expensive as the Death Star. They eventually threw it into a black hole. It was the only way they could think of to destroy it.

The Blue Typhoon:
Spoiler:
Exterior. The plastic palm trees make it look like a luxury cruiser
Bridge with Crew. the special design allows it to be operated by only 7 Crew members
The estuary of the main gun, with the Ammunitions Officer in front.
Dimensions: not known (most likely cruiser)
Top speed: SuperWarpRing-FTL-Engine
Power Supply: Master Emerald Power Core (You could say it is powered by the Force)
Armament: 1 Sonic Power Cannon (a variant of an accelerator cannon) 1 twin plasma beam ermitter 1 "Scatter Laser" (no more information available)
History: Originally built to battle flying fortresses in atmosphere, the Blue Tyohoon later got modified to serve as a spaceship due to the Metarex-crisis. The Crew during this main voyage was: Captain Miles "Tails" Prower, Ammunitions and Weapons Officer Sonic Hedgehog, Engineering Officer Guardian Knuckles Echidna, Shields Operator Cream Rabbit, Sensor Officer Christopher "Chris" Thorndike, Navigation Officer Amy Rose and Mission Officer Cosmo Seedrian. After Several months, the Typhoon and its crew managed to defeat the Metarex and saved the universe from being altered into some bad place.

Why would you post a 'ship' from Sonic the Hedgehog? IMO, it's horrendously over designed and ugly as sin. I know it's your personal taste, but...it's like the Bronies claiming My Little Pony as a sci-fi franchise...

Spoiler:
The GTVA Colossus Spanning 6 KM long from Bow to Stern, it took 25 Years to complete. Width is unknown, but it is massive.
History
The first combat deployment of the Colossus was against the Neo-Terran Front. It can be truthfully said that it was the Colossus that was the ultimate factor in the NTF's collapse. NTF forces proved to be no match for the Colossus and her battle group, and the rebels made every effort to avoid direct combat with the warship. With his fleet shattered, and the remnants being actively pursued and destroyed by the Colossus, Admiral Aken Bosch gave the order to flee GTVA space to the relative safety of the nebula beyond Gamma Draconis.
With the NTF defeated, the Colossus was finally to fulfill the role her designers had envisioned for her: the defeat of a second Shivan incursion. However, as it turned out, the challenge was not to be SD Lucifer-class superdestroyers, but rather the even more massive SJ Sathanas-class juggernaut. Twenty years of constant struggle finally culminated with the Colossus's destruction of the Sathanas, all at the cost of moderate damage to the Colossus.
All would have been well was it not for the Shivans possessing multiple juggernauts. In the closing stages of the Battle of Capella, the Colossus was deployed to interdict Shivan traffic at the Gamma Draconis jump node in Capella to divert enemy forces and attention away from the Bastion, which was en route to collapse the jump corridor to Epsilon Pegasi. The ploy succeeded, as the Shivans first deployed a SD Ravana, then a SJ Sathanas to engage the Colossus. In her weakened state, it was obvious that the Colossus would not survive an engagement with another Sathanas-class juggernaut, and Allied Command ordered the Colossus to withdraw.
However, with the success of the Bastion's critical mission in doubt, the Colossus disobeyed the direct order from Allied Command, and refused to disengage. Subsequently, the Colossus was destroyed with the loss of all hands. The thirty-thousand officers and crew of the Colossus willingly sacrificed themselves to ensure the continued survival of the billions of individuals making up the Terran and Vasudan species, and ultimately, the Galactic Terran-Vasudan Alliance.
Specifications
Sub-Light engines: 4 Large Ion Drive Engines, capable of accelerating the ship at a rate of 25 Meters/Second. FTL Drive: Black-Hole Drive. This expands an infinitely small black hole to a size where it barely engulfs the ship and forces it through it's wormhole, then shrinks it again. Gravity field cancelled out by large Gravity Field Manipulator. Armor: Repellon-Grade NeoSteel Armor. Shield: 3 Terra class Shield Generators mounted on board. Carrier: Can hold 60 Fighter and Bomber wings on board, 120 in all. Weapons: 45 Laser Turrets, 15 Flak Turrets, 12 Missile Batteries, and 12 Beam Cannons
