Flood vs Necromorphs?

What if a flood spore infected a crew member on the Ishimura, then an infector came on board? The humans all evacuate or are all killed, so the flood's master, the gravemind, decides to have his infection forms go for the necromorphs (I dont know why, just wanted to start a discussion. Halo and Dead Space are involved obviously)
Who would win?

The Flood can't survive in the vacuum of space (citation: Halo Wikia) whereas the Necromorphs can. The Necromorphs can fill an area with poisonous gas while the Flood are organic and depend on normal cellular processes which can be disrupted by toxins.
The Flood need their biological hosts to be alive as their brain function is important for Flood hives, Necromorphs have a similar centralized control from the Marker but do not need their hosts to be alive. Flood cannot convert a disabled Necromorph but a Necromorph can convert a disabled Flood.

All in all, I think the Necromorphs would probably win, although it would be a protracted battle. The only way the Flood could win would be by reaching the Marker early on and destroying it, because the Necromorphs will always win by attrition.

Heavily armoured monstrously tall supersoldier with state of the art weaponry, who spent his whole life preparing for a fight,
verus a scrawny engineer who can't go much faster than 10mph, is wearing a civilian spacesuit and uses tools to pick a fight.

HOWEVER, Master Chief doesn't have anything nearly as cool as Clarke's stasis module. One pop of stasis on Master Chief and Clarke can shoot all his arms and legs off.

Why? Isaac is suppossed to be an everyman who relies on ingenuity and rmjury rigging to win whereas MC is suppossed to be an unstoppable super soldier. As characters over their respective games Isaac is much more enjoyable to watch. Altbough chief is now getting some characterisations nothing beats going insane with Mr. Clarke.
