A couple of thoughts on the subject...
Would the Borg shields be able to stop a Force push (just like Obi-Wan uses against the battle droids at the beginning of TPM)?
Vader should be able to Force push the Borg aside until he could escape. All he would have to do then is discover the location of the Borg Queen and Force choke her to death (which according to ST:FC et al would result in a chain-reaction destroying the collective itself).
The scale of the Trade Federation ship is quite surprising and does look a bit too large (well for my eyes at least).
There have been numerous "Star Wars vs Star Trek" blurbs in various Sci-Fi and movie magazines for decades. The results are usually undecided or a tie (guess to make both sides of fans happy).
I wish I could dig out an original article I once saw- It was a fictional battle between the Enterprise D (or was it E?) vs an Imperial Star Destroyer. Basically the Star Destroyer begins hammering the Enterprise with turbo-lasers.
Data keeps telling Picard that there is minimal damage to the Enterprise's shields and no hull damage (it has been established in the first or second season of ST:TNG that the Enterprise's shields could withstand any amount of laser fire).
Since the Star Destroyer poses no threat, Picard does not have Worf return fire and begins polishing his head with Pledge furniture polish (it was a joke after all).
Picard keeps whistling a tune while vigorously rubbing his head with a large cloth, until Data says there is a Super-Star Destroyer off the port bow. Picard has the ship go to red alert but it is too late- The S-SD obliterates the Enterprise with it's "super turbo lasers" (or some other weapon... concussion missiles?)
