I think it should be Rickie Lee Jones VS. Joni, or yes, maybe James Taylor or Jackson Browne. Joan Baez is certainly a good musician, and has that high pure voice (like a Joni) but I don't think she is a contemporary of Joni's, she comes more from a folk tradition.
Of course I already can't imagine who could beat Joni, so I should probably shut up.
Patti Smith VS PJ Harvey
Oh yes, I was supposed to vote for someone...er, I pick Whitney Houston. I don't have a very good reason, she just made me want to sing along more than the other choices, way back when.
