This is my opinion, but the Force and Harry Potter's magic are too hard to fairly compare- obviously Star Wars fans think the Force is better because they know more about it than they do about Harry Potter magic. I, being more knowledgable on the HP side, do have a biased opinion toward wizarding magic over the Force - it's an opinion, and while I cannot PROVE either side, I can support it with these points:

The Force is wide in its variety of abilities but with Harry Potter magic you can literally create new spells, as evidenced in the Half-Blood Prince, when Snape wrote down his own new and unknown spells in his Potions book that Harry found, to disastrous results (Sectusempra!). This takes a while, but it means that what Voldy and his Death Eaters can do is just bound by their own sick, twisted imagination. As far as the Stormtroopers are concerned, they have weak armor - anything and everything goes through it. Powerful dark magic, that can blast holes in solid foundations and still be potent, will most likely do the same. Meanwhile, defensive spells surely must be useful to some degree against blaster shots. The Force, on the other hand, is a more debatable thing and something I won't try to act like I know - but all you Star Wars fans clearly don't know Harry Potter magic.

Down to psychological warfare - Vader and Voldemort excel at this and have both been shown (at least in the movies) to kill their own men in fits of rage. While unlikely in battle, I can see Voldemort being more rash in his decisions, but his single-minded determination to murder as quickly as possible (when not fighting Harry) means that if he has his way, the fight will be over quickly. The wands are more accurate than the movies let on, because what's an intense fight if everyone shoots one spell and the battle's done? Sadly for ye of the poor knowledge, this is more common than not. So Voldemort could easily come in, Avada Kedavra, fight over.

Lastly - Avada Kedavra. Do not say that it won't kill Vader, because it will. It will kill anything it touches - instantly. I know it can be dodged, deflected, avoided, etc. blah blah blah - but it's still a factor, and a game-winning one for me.

I vote for Lord Voldemort.
