I'm not sure what you're looking for.

I say Pred.
Predator:
The shoulder-mounted plasma launcher is like a mini-wraith turret
Thy have spears and, obviously, their claws/knives. (I'm not sure how the spear works or if it is just a regular throwing lance)
Their helmets have multiple vision modes as stated before (Alien, Thermal, Electric, White Light etc.)
Their armor is more ceremonial than protecting, I believe.
They also have near perfect Active Camouflage
Sangheili:
Have plasma weapons and energy swords too, but only under the Covenant's power (I don't know what Sangheili weapons were like before being inducted into the Covenant)
The Sangheili Armor is also supplied by the Covenant, along with the armor abilities, vehicles, and their command powers.
Sangheili are natural predators like the Predator species, and are on par with the SPARTANs.
I am pretty sure that the Predator would win. Minus the Covenant, the Sangheili aren't as strong or tech savvy. While regular humans can indeed kill a Predator, their sneaky nature greatly helps them. Arnold was able to kill one, but it gave up a good fight and he had to hide from it and mask his heat signature, ergo, outsmart its technology.
I am going to assume that the Sangheili hadn't discovered plasma weapons before they Covenant found them. So that makes the Sangheili a fairly modern race, with guns and explosives, like the humans from the original Predator movie.
The Predator already has it's own cloaking, plasma caster, and close quarters weapons. The Sangheili are also quite large, making them somewhat easy to spot, even in an open setting like a forest or in overcast skies. The Pred will sneak up on them, kill them with the knives, take their head, and go back into cloaking before it can be shot at. Then it will repeat until it kills the satisfactory amount of 10-point Sangheili.
(I did this soley from memory and didn't check any kind of reference to either series)
Actually, the elites were the second most advanced living species in the galaxy before the covenant, just under the prophets. But the prophets used forunner tech, elites didn't.[/quoute]
No. They both used Forerunner tech, and still they took 100,000 years.
