In circumference, probably Halo.
Edit: Just did a search and found that the Halo ring is approximately 10,000 kilometers in diameter, with the first Death Star being 120 kilometers in diameter and the second Death Star being 160 kilometers in diameter.
So it looks like it would take a couple dozen Death Stars to fill in the empty space inside a Halo ring ;P

In circumference, halo beats it hands down.
The deathstar is a small moon when Halo is huge, of course it's smaller.
Now, what about volume? or firepower?

I don't know much about Halo. Isn't the reason for it a man-made habitation designed in a ring style so it can rotate and create centrifugal gravity, while the death star is simply a gigantic weapon?

Firepower halo wins once again hands down... it was built by the most advanced species ever and just one of them can kill all sentient life in a very very large quadrant of space..

With M6D Pistol the Master Chief can take down anything, with 2 to the chest one to da' dome. Darth Vader has the "force". WELL masterchief has what is called 1337N3SS!!! So some measly "force" don't mean nothing now does it?!?
H.A.L.O. wins any way you look at it.

Actually, if it were a one on one contest, the Death Star wins hands down. The explosion that destroyed the first Halo wasn't nearly as powerful as the one the Death Star is capable of, so a single Death Star blast would obliterate a single Halo ring.
Plus, even if the Halo rings fired like they were supposed to, the Death Star would still be left standing as the rings only destroy living matter.
Oh, and there's no such thing as centrifugal force ;P

Maaaaaaaaaan, the master chief would just cruise on into the middle of the death star and toss a 'nade right into the exhaust pipe of the monster weapon and it would be finished. Then he would get in some ridiculous vehicle and shoot his way out with a single clip of an assault rifle.
Yeah, I agree though, the death star does have some firepower. But aren't there only 2 death stars, and one got destroyed by some n00b that didn't even know he was a jedi yet? I mean give me a break! There are tons of Halos spread through the universe if I am not mistaken. It takes some serious badassness to destroy any halo... You know if you have played as Spartan 117.
