I'll keep this short and give this to Master Qui-Gon Jinn. The main factor to his victory will be his overwhelmingly superior skill and feats in lightsaber combat. While Plo is definitely also a skilled fighter, having defeated Asajj Ventress with one of his arms broken (keep in mind Ventress is skilled enough to fight on par with people like Obi-Wan and Anakin) but he doesn't show nearly the same number of feats as Qui-Gon, who on multiple occasions has taken on Siths and fallen jedis. While Qui-Gon's defeat against Maul might look like a show of weakness, let's not forget Ventress got steamrolled by Maul's weaker and less skilled brother, Savage, and likely would've been killed by him if not for Obi-Wan helping her: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlJiphrbLyg . Then, there's the life force. The Life Force is a way more versatile form of the force than Plo's more basic one. Qui-Gonn basically has everything Plo has and more. This, in my opinion, basically sums up why I think Qui-Gonn will defeat his fellow Jedi Master in this battle.

If I can ask, though, I would love it if this battle didn't end in death. I absolutely love both Plo and Qui-Gonn, and they're my two favorite characters from Star Wars. Seeing either die would break my soul.
