Who would win? My theory is this.....
To start things off, the brute is much stronger than an elite. Brutes would own on strength along. Brute wins.
Second, weapons. The Elite usually carries a plasma rifle. The Brute carries a slug-like weapon. The Elite would have the advantage of range and rate of fire. He could maybe finish the Brute off before the Brute could get in range. But when the Brute gets in close, it's a different story. I give it to the Elite.
Next, melee attack. The Brutes got a Big Ass Blade (or what i refer to as a B.A.B.) This could chop up the Elite. Now this is were there are 2 different set ups. First, the elite would get his ass kicked with the plasma rifle. But 2nd, the Elite could have a plasma sword. Therefore the Elite would slice the Brute in 2. I call it even here, due to the varities.
Now, Tatics. The Elites are tatical geniouses. They duck, flank, throw grens, and do tons of crazy crap. The Brutes arent really the smartest of the liter. (Note the 2003 E3 movie, crashing into the wall, and assuming a Brute was piloting the Phantom, shooting a sign and crashing into it) Elites win.
Vehicles. Both species can drive a ghost. So far we know of that only the Elite can drive a banshee and wraith. Unknown that Brute can drive these. Let's assume that he can't (Why not? Well, they would have to be custom made because the seat is formed and made for a Elite and only an Elite (ala First Strike). Spartans can barely fit in) Still, it is unknown, so its a tie here.
Now how would a battle play out? Well i think it something like this.
On open ground, i believe a Brute might win. Assuming the Elite had a plasma rifle, he would open fire on the Brute. The Brute would run and dodge his way past the shots, and when he got close, open fire. If he got close enough, he would use his strength/melee and overpwere the Elite. If the Elite had a plasma sword, the Brute could dodge it easily being open ground and shred the Brute to peices.
On a more close space with obsticales, lets say the Beach on The SIlent Cartogopher. The Elite would probably win. Tatics would come into play. The Elite would duck, hide behind objects, throw grens, and try to flank the Brute. THe Brute on the other hand would try running past the obsticales, looking for the Elite, and eventually get confused and fustrated. The Elite could trick out the Brute. However, the tables could turn if the Elite is spotted and the Brute opens fire with his weapon.
Well im getting tired of writing. What you guys think?
