Not going to bother voting, nobody flies stock fitted ships.
That said, Dropship simply because the clipper is bugged, does not exert mass disruption and is held down even by sidewinders.

The dropship has an extra, large hardpoint doesn't it? I think that's a pretty big point in its favor.

The parameter is 'stock' - 2x C2 Pulse Lasers.
Eww stock weapons too, I thought you just meant stock components.
The clipper is faster and more agile but can't jump away or stop people from jumping. If it was a forced fight to the death, clipper wins if not, dropship jumps out.
Inconclusive, Dropship could knock Clippers teeth out but cant catch up with it.
I've tried both, I'd take the stock Clipper any day.
When I tried the dropship, I felt like a sitting duck. It was slow to turn and slow to run, It has great weapon placement for fixed weapons, but because it's such a clumsy ship even with better drive, the fixed weapons are out of the question. Also when using gimballed weapons, hitting with all of them simultaneously is likely not going to happen (because of the weapon placements).
It's quite massive ship even if it's small enough to land on medium pads. The mass means inertia, that combined with weak directional thrusters, makes it difficult to fly. Especially when entering a station.
The dropship needs some love from dev team before it's actually usable.

They both do.
The correct answer is: The clever person in the upgraded viper that goes around blowing up people flying stock ships 
You could use it as paper weight too.
