As has been stated, more or less, throughout this thread already, I believe Limsa would come out on top.
Gridania has their hands full making sure the forest around them doesn't swallow them whole. They'll be busy using their conjury force to appease the elementals as opposed to healing their lancers and archers.
Ul'dah is a literal mess of internal conflict. The misuse of refugees and even "slightly friendly" beastmen (Qiqirn), plus the power struggle within the walls themselves, would be their downfall.
Limsa, for a city built around pirates, is actually fairly well put together. They have a few pirate squabbles here and there, but if the admiral were to give free reign to looting and plundering as someone else mentioned in this thread... then I'm sure they'd happily fall in line and join in with the blockade/raids on any ports.
So, while Limsa fends off any attempt from Ul'dah (and even Gridania?) to attack by sea with ease, then most likely puts on a blockade to win by attrition... Gridania will likely be too busy making sure the trees don't come to life and trample every living thing in the Shroud. Were Limsa dumb enough to attempt to actually go into the Shroud.... then yeah, they'd likely lose that battle.
