Okay I'm going to try and break this down.
Forerunners: High level of technology, not reliant on Stargates for FTL, vast fleets. But, they are most likely either all dead, or to far away from the Milky Way to matter. And I know someone will say "no there not". The Forerunner Slipspace travel was thousands of time faster than ours, they could have been at an Halo in hours if they wanted. They were wiped out by the Halos, there might be afew in sheild worlds but that is it.
Ancient: Powerful, but most of their tech is reliant on the Stargates, also they have advanced technology, but it seems not nearly as advanced as the Forerunners or Reapers. They are all ascended, and ascended aren't supposed to interfere with non-ascended ever.
Reapers: A massive fleet of living machines. They have wiped out advanced civilizations possibly hundreds of times in the Milky Way, they made the Citadel and Relays, which can survive a super nova, and thus its assumed they can too. Sovereign didn't need to be heavily armored, when he got to the Citadel all the Relay's were supposed to be down (i think). It's never said how long they have existed, so there could totally be a 20 kilometer long one that could plunge into VY Canis Majoris when it went Hyper Nova without flinching.
As much as I honestly want the Forerunners to win, the Reapers are gonna make a Forerunner-Reaper with all those dead bodies.
If you've ever eead Cryptum, you'd never have said that. For one, Forerunners can travel between universes.
If it comes to a fight, the Forerunners weaponry has been calculated/estimated at gigs, terras, maybe petas. Why? Well, for one, they destroyed a planet with turrets and artillery, no ships were mentioned, just "weapon platforms"
Second, they destroyed a Halo Ring with a couple of shots, Rings that can look like the surface of the moon from thousands of heavy kilo/mega/gigatonnage impact craters and remain perfectly intact.
The Reapers shielding would be completely useless in the face of Forerunner weaponry. I wouldn't put it past a Forerunner Fortress (100 kilometer behemoth) to be fully capable of taking on the entire Reaper fleet that attacks Earth. It would sure as hell be able to destroy the Alliance Fleet. single handed.
And to say Reapers>Ancients is blind fanboyism.
