The Republic Navy used several: two V-Wings, the Eta-2 Actis the Obi-Wan and Anakin used in Episode 3, and the ARC-170, to name a few.

I assume you mean the ARC-170, as that's the one seen most in the movies

The ARC-170 was a heavy starfighter, capable of hyperspace, with fairly heavy armor, shields, and armament, and could hold three people and an astromech.

The standard TIE Fighter had no hyperdrive or shields, flimsy armor, and only laser cannons, but was considerably faster and much more maneuverable. Compared to how they faired against X-Wings, the ARC-170 would probably come out on top as the better ship, being much higher in quality and all

That being said, the TIE Fighter ended up getting a lot of upgrades. Second gen fighters which came out around Episode 4 were actually faster than X-Wings and a bit better armed, making it harder to call. And that's not taking into account other models such as the TIE Advanced series, which I will consider seperate ships for this argument

So, in my opinion: ARC-170 > Standard TIE fighter, assuming the ARC-170 has full compliment

Yeah, the ARC-170, though outdated, would still be a well-rounded machine versus the one-trick pony "eyeballs". Though to be fair to the TIE, it was never meant to be a one-on-one interceptor in the first place. It was designed for swarm tactics, and that's where it excels.

Here is the issue with the ARC-170: Its a heavy, multi-crew assault craft. Barely even a fighter. The TIE would be able to chew it to pieces in a dogfight as it suffers all the problems of a Y-wing without the Y-wing's sleeker design and legendary durability. The ARC-170 would not be able to keep up with a TIE in a dogfight, let alone the squadrons they usually were deployed in.
