What time period?
The Mass Effect fleet could possibly performs better than the UNSC would, as their weapons have greater effective range and can fire far quicker, although the individual shots might be weaker. However, the Mass Effect forces have to deal with heat management, something is mostly ignored in Halo. Depending on where the fight takes place and how long it lasts, it's possible that they would have to run away to avoid cooking themselves. I get the feeling that they'd probably end up losing most fleet engagements.
If, however, this is after ME1, then there's a slightly greater chance the Citadel forces could win, as the fighters can have cruiser level firepower.
A also have a feeling that the Covenant outnumber the Citadel races when it comes to ships and war material, though I could be wrong.
Kinetic barriers dont stop plasma...
Why wouldn't they? They stop stuff fast moving stuff that has mass. Plasma has mass. Some heat would be transferred to the hull by emission of photons from the plasma, but it would be much less than if the plasma actually touched the hull.
