SG1 and DS9 would be a weird crossover.
You have the humans of the enlightened future meeting a team of military personnel from the past, lead by a man who tries to avoid enlightenment whenever possible. He'd probably end up in Quark's playing darts.
Carter is going to immediately frustrate any attempts to limit damage to the timeline (not that it makes sense given that they'd have to be from a parallel reality) or invoke the prime directive. She's going to be full of questions, and she knows enough about advanced alien technology that she'll probably be able to figure out more than they'd want just from observation. She'd also probably figure out how to use the wormhole to get back home, being something of an expert on the topic.
Daniel is going to have the unique experience of being an archeologist that is now a relic of the past. Not much for him to do as a linguist since they have universal translators, though it would be funny if they brought it up and he thought they had all just been speaking English, since everyone in their galaxy does for some reason. It'd also be funny for him to be recognized by the prophets or Q, as though they knew him from his brief period as a vorlon or whatever.
I think Dax and Teal'c would hit it off, they have so much in common.
And things would get very confusing if someone activated an emh.
Also probably for the best that the Atlantis team isn't there, as O'Brien would have some awkward questions to answer. Besides, they're already too busy crossing over with Enterprise and answering their own awkward questions about Tripp.
Oh, and I really hope Jellico is visiting the station.
O'Neill (two Ls) absolutely would not be just sitting in a bar playing darts. He'd be poking around where he should be, telling Daniel to ask his annoyingly humanitarian questions to make sure DS9 isn't some weird hidden prison camp (anymore) and probably trying to step in to help assist against the dominion. If it's Mitchell, above still applies but he'd also be participating. I assume it would have to be Mitchell if the Atlantis team is able to appear, but hey it's time travel baby! Rules go byebye. Sha're and Drey'ac could show up too.
Daniel is always translating for the group, and we only get to hear other languages spoken when Daniel has trouble translating. It's their version of handwaving why everyone speaks English instead of handwaving as a universal translator (that wouldn't work if you aren't on a ship or don't have a comm badge or are on a planet where no tech works, but everyone still understands each other anyway)
And Carter would be having so much fun trying to figure out how all the tech works, I think she would demand to see the chief engineer and science officer. Things could get weird if she's read the Atlantis mission files yet.
And if it's the Atlantis team showing up, they're probably going to assume someone figured out Laiden's plans, saved Cowen, and now they're plotting revenge on a repurposed mining station from a long dead civilization.
Man there are so many actors that have been in both franchises, it's hard to pick which would be the most interesting in-character interaction to see.
Jellico/O'Neill would be hilarious. The Nox could sure teach quark a thing or two. I'd love to see Q come face to face with Simmons. Teyla rounding a corner and running into Tucker would certainly be a fight worth watching.
I wonder, would Teal'c even recognize Ishta as tpol?
