Please help as I have had way too many sleepless nights wondering about this myself.

I'm a fan of Battlestar, but I'll have to say that the Enterprise would easily handle the Galactica.
1) The Enterprise has superior protection. Shields. These can handle most forms of attack and could easily handle the projectiles and nukes that the Galactica fires. The Galactica doesn't appear to have anything other than tough armor, which gets damaged from opposing fire and heavily damaged with nukes.
2) The Enterprise has superior range. It can engage enemy ships from tens of thousands of kilometers. So far, all the engagements we've seen from the Battlestar are at much closer ranges.
3) The Enterprise has superior weaponry. Phasers and Photon torpedoes. The Galactica has good weapons, but they do not compare to what the Enterprise is packing.
4) The Enterprise has superior speed. The Galactica can perform 'jumps', but these take time and calculation, they aren't meant for fast maneuvering during a battle. The Enterprise, on the other hand, can manuever and fire a multiples of the speed of light. Certainly faster than the Battlestar could handle.
The Galactica would get hit before it could detect the Enterprise. It would get hit with a full spread of photon torpedoes and a full volley from the phaser banks. Even if the Galactica could get close enough to fire shots or launch Vipers (which also shoot projectile rounds), the Enterprise's speed and shields would be more than enough protection.
Enterprise wins, hands down.

The original Enterprise (the Scott Bakula version) didn't have shields, but did have hull plating and still has the rest of the advantages (range, speed, firepower). Enterprise wins, hands down.

Which Battlestar Galactica ?The new one or the original?LOL
Either version would beat the Enterprise hands down just ship against ship without factoring in the Viper squadrons.

In my opinion, the Enterprise would win. The Enterprise is a lot more manoeuverable than the Galactica, and could perform turns and loops a lot easier.
The little fighters from the Galactica would give the Enterprise a few problems, and i suppose their Jump engines could get them out of trouble, but I'd put my money on the Enterprise.

Battlestar galactica because it is a battle star, the enterprise is only equipped for moderate warfair.

The Battlestar. Not only is the crew just more hardcore, but they can jump if they need to.
