Reach had 152 ships and 20 Orbital Defense platforms, Earth itself had at least 1,000 ships, considering it had 300 Orbital Defense platforms. The UNSC had about 800 colonies, so I'd guess the total numbers would be around:
Warships: 4900 ( Im kinda guessing off of Bungie's favorite number and what I think. )
Total ships: 7000-10000 ( Commercial craft, and warships. )
The UNSC probably had many more ships than the Covenant, however the Covenant usually had the much better tech in space.
UNSC- Quantity
Covenant- Quality
The numbers after the war were probably taken off by 1/3, however I'm sure the UNSC gained much insight into covenant space technology as well.
Thats just my opinion based on the books and games, as well as any other canon relating to space warfare that I've seen.Actually i believe the covenant had more ships its just they didnt send as much. In the halo books the covenant have hundreds of ships that are going to head towards earth and lets just say a certain someone didnt let them. I some battles the UNSC did have alot mroe but took heavy losses as you said like sigma octanus i think and harvest.
