OK I've done some checking on the whole shield fluctuation thing which is mentioned in the canon of the show, I was wrong about it being said in the episode Camelot, but it is mentioned within the Camelot battle, during Flesh and Blood in one of the flashbacks to the battle, when Carter is investigating the Korolev's data recorder retrieved after it's destruction, 17 minutes and 15 seconds into the episode a female crew member on the Korolev's bridge says to Colonel Chekov "Sir sensors are indicating a slight energy fluctuation in their shields coinciding with our weapons fire", again at 37 minutes and six seconds Bray'Tak mentions the fluctuation after the first Ha'Tak is destroyed in the attack on the Ori Cruisers over Chluak.
The fluctuation is also mentioned in Unending 8 minutes and 1 second into the episode when Odyssey starts firing the Asgard beam weapons for the first time on the first Ori Cruiser that gets destroyed by them, Major Marks says "sensors indicate enemy shields are fluctuating" the Ori's weapons are not being fired at this point as the Odyssey is behind that Ori Cruiser.
I don't recall any other shield on the show being said to fluctuate when under stress, in the case of something like Atlantis up until the end of season 3 of SGA they either withstand enemy weapons fire until the energy supply powering them gets depleted, or in the case of something like a 304 (or Atlantis in EATG) they drop to "70 percent" or whatever, since the Ori shields are never to my recollection being said to drop in power or hold and IMO something else is going on there with the Ori's shields and it can not be said with absolute certainty that the Super Hive's weapons would deplete them as we've never seen them used against a shield of this kind.
Since the only things to get through the shields are either the Asgard Plasma beam weapons on board Odyssey (regular 304s were never shown to be able to get through the Ori's shields), which is powered by a ZPM that could or couldn't be powering the weapons or the initial activation of a Super Gate in Pegasus Project IMO we can not be sure the Super Hive's weapons would definitely have the same effect as they did on either a ZPMless 304 or Atlantis as the shields on an Ori Cruiser do not behave the same way as either.
I will refrain from making any comparisons between the power of either the Asgard beams or the Ori's beam pulse weapons, but I will say that Ori weapons have been shown to be fired and break apart solid matter in Counter Strike and when destroying enemy ships , they can also be fired with little in the way of a pause between each shot and would IMO be able to be fired fast enough to cause damage to the Hive.
I do not believe the Ori's beams carry any less power and since only a single shot was fired at the Super Hive with the APBWs, which has never even been shown to destroy a Wraith Cruiser I believe it can safely be said that one shot from those weapons would never have destroyed the Super Hive.
With everything I've said above in this post I do believe that the Ori Cruiser would defeat the Hive, it would IMO still be a battle for it do so, but with maneuverability on it's side (as I believe the Ori ship is only a fraction the size of even a regular Hive and the Ori's ships do move in battles) and it's main weapon being able to fire many blasts in the space of a pretty short amount of time I think it could win.
