Who wins?

No EU.

No US, either.

While firepower at least on the ground seems about even, I think clone and storm troopers have better aim.

I think Spaceballs has a better FTL system.

Spaceballs sensors are both easier and harder to jam then Star Wars. You need to use actual jam on a SpaceBalls ship's sensors to jam them.

I would say Mega-Maid is a more practical weapon then a Death Star do to the fact you can turn it to reverse after everyone is dead.

So, X-wings should use jam bottles instead of torpedoes to jam Spaceballs' sensors... can it be done?

KFC-Wings would stand a better chance against Megamaid.

I highly doubt even the most powerful force user will think to use actual jam to jam radar. Even if a force user got a vision telling him to use the jam I doubt they would use the information simply because it is so silly.

Secondly I doubt a Star Wars ship has a way to launch the amount of jam needed. That looks like you almost need an X-wing cockpit worth of jam at least.

I doubt Star wars ECM and Spaceballs ECM will be effective.

They can tug a jar or fill warheads with Eggplant Marmalade jam.

THe problem is Star Wars side isn't the the sciencey type of setting to figure out that you need to use actual jam to jam SpaceBalls sensors. If this was Spaceballs verses Star Trek I say they would figure it out, but Star Wars isn't silly in the right way.
