In the war, the Asari would lose first. They would put up a hell of a fight, but most people seem to be forgetting that Cerberus made a poisen that takes away biotic power. If Humanity is under threat of being destroyed Omega-Enkaphalin would be deployed by Cerberus in an instant.
Since it is Cerberus it would backfire in some way, but the effects would be the Asari losing their biggest advantage. At that point all that matters is if they hurt the turian or human military more. Once they lose their biotic, 10 Asari would die for every 1 turian or human. Without their biotics they have nothing but a long lifespan.
Then it's between the humans and Turians, the turians would also lose their biotics, though that wouldn't affect their strength. They have greater numbers and production, but that is offset by their need to defend their vassal species like the volus, and a larger number of areas that need to be defended. They are also set in their ways, and will not deviate. Like Garrus said, when a good turian hears a bad order, he follows it. The turians will be fighting stratagies they aren't prepared for, making the war long a bloody for them. I would say at least 5 turian would die for every 1 human, if the turians are lucky.
Like what has been said over and over again, humans are flexible, but more importantly, we take more risks, and are more efficient. Humans have less manpower per ship, but none of the ships are run less efficiently because of that. That is because humans use more VIs, and in the case of Cerberus AIs, to do the work. So while humans have less ships, each one is run more efficiently than their competetors.
Once shackled AI is given to the human military through a Cerberus front corporation, every human ship will be run by a small crew. With no rules, Humanity's use of AI will give them a huge edge
Still, even with all of Humanity's advantages, it would take time. The longer the war lasts, the more time we have to implement our advantages effectively, and we can't compare to the Turian's and Asari's numbers. It takes time to mobilize for total war, and only when the Alliance is mobilized will it stand on even footing. While the turians and asari will produce more, even if they don't mobilize for total was, the Alliance will produce better.
Humans have a 30% chance of winning in the first 5 years, the Asari 1%, the Turians 69%.
If the war takes ten years, humans have 40%, turians 60%
If the war takes more than ten years, both sides will sign a cease fire with the intent to build their militaries to attack the other, starting a long cold war between the two. Humanity would win when the fighting started again.
Wow

... that was long.
