I'm pretty damn sure that it'd be the Elites who would win. Grunts have no ships and would just be massacred by the thousands if non were re-enslaved and forced to work for the different factions.
Jackal ships are poorly armed and would not stand a chance against any other Covenant ships, and chances of them successfully commandeering enough ships to even stand a chance are slim to none.
Brutes didn't have enough ships, they might be able to successfully take over ships from the Elites, but they are not very good at strategy, so the Elites would skunk them like they did above the Ark in Halo 3.
Drones wouldn't even be a threat or even considering, they would ended very quickly, probably before the fight even began. Prophets wouldn't stand much of a chance either, they're useless at physical combat so they too are not even worthy of considering as a threat.
The Hunters and Brutes are really the only ones who would stand a real chance against the Elites, and even then Hunters wouldn't really be able to take control of any ships and pilot them into battle, I don't think so anyway. I'm pretty sure that it would take too long for them to prepare any of their brethren to take control of a ship, and even if they did I don't think they'd be very good pilots, they're far more effective as infantry and heavy armor units, both landbased.
The only way I see the Elites really losing is if another side manages to capture the Dreadnought, but even then it's not impossible for the Elites to win due to a very wise variety of factors.
