Let me see what I can bring to this conversation.

(All the info within has been gleaned straight from the Wikizilla pages regarding these two characters.)

Mechagodzilla stats:

Height: 50 meters

Weight: 40,000 tons

Length: ~70 meters

Weapons: "The Showa MechaGodzilla has armor constructed out of a mysterious alloy known as 'Space Titanium,' which actually proved to not be particularly durable, as a brief fight with Godzilla caused enough damage for it to need to be called back for repairs. It is also equipped with a staggering amount of firepower.

MechaGodzilla is capable of firing a rainbow colored optical laser that seems to be equal in power to Godzilla's atomic breath- its head can rotate 360 degrees, allowing the robotic dinosaur to shoot down an opponent that might attempt to approach from behind. Spinning its head at high speed allows MechaGodzilla to raise a forcefield. When disguised as Godzilla, MechaGodzilla could fire a heat ray from its mouth. Curiously, after the disguise was destroyed, MechaGodzilla never used the heat ray again. When MechaGodzilla had its head removed in Terror of MechaGodzilla by Godzilla, it could fire a small concentrated beam from a small antenna.

Showa MechaGodzilla is also equipped with powerful missiles in its fingers, knees, mouth, and even its toes. These missiles can explode on contact with a target, or they may lodge in the flesh of an enemy like darts. Located under a hatch in MechaGodzilla's chest is a weapon that fires a jagged orange energy beam with enough slicing power to cut a mountain in half. Showa MechaGodzilla is no slouch in close combat either, as evidenced in its combat against King Caesar, though it couldn't beat Godzilla in this area. Finally, MechaGodzilla can fly via rockets in its feet able to reach a speed of Mach 5."

King Ghidorah stats:

Height: 100 meters

Weight: 30,000 tons

Wingspan: 150 meters

Abilities: "King Ghidorah has had a number of changes made to himself over the years, but most of his traditional battle characteristics have remained the same. His different forms in the different movies have their own abilities.
 * King Ghidorah flies at the speed of Mach 3.
 * King Ghidorah is able to fire lightning bolt-like Gravity beams from his mouths.
 * King Ghidorah is able to create hurricane winds from his wings.
 * King Ghidorah uses his necks to constrict an opponent.

Misc.

King Ghidorah, in the Showa series, had the ability to generate what appeared to be magnetic fields, but what were stated to not be, and instead be a 'mysterious pulling power'. While it was never stated directly what purpose they served, it was stated that they were somehow connected to its powers. It seems possible that it used them as a form of levitation."

Let's talk weapons/abilities first.

MG has an un-earthly amount of gadgetry/weapons at it's disposal, including (but not limited to) finger/tongue/toe/kneecap-missiles that can be that reload infinitely, its rainbow-eye-beam-thingy, and the chest-laser. As such it could keep Ghidorah busy for a while.

KG, on the other hand, can fire gravity beams and (quite literally) blow his opponents away. I remember seeing somewhere (can't remember where exactly) that Ghidorah once used his gravity beams to levitate Godzilla and then smack him into the ground, so he could do that until MG broke. He could also use that magnetic-whatever to get a hold of MG and rip its head off.

Speed:

Mechagodzilla can fly at a speed of Mach 5, according to the Wikizilla page, and King Ghidorah flies somewhere around Mach 3, so escape is a possibility for our metal friend.

Overall Size (Length and wingspan will not be included here, as there is no length measurement for KG on the wiki (that I can find) and there is no wingspan measurement for MG at all.):

MG is around 50 meters in height, and weighs in at 40,000 tons.

KG is twice as tall (100 meters), and 10,000 tons lighter than MG.

So yeah, what did we get out of this? *consults off-screen adviser* It could go either way (most likely King Ghidorah will be the one walking away with the trophy-belt), one of the main deciding factors is weather or not someone is piloting MG, or if its just sitting around, doing nothing.
