The HOK would be useful in an invasion. In a straight up fight against a lord he would be usleless. Also the outcome of the fight is largely dependent on the lord in question.

Against Peryite (a disease lord with the form of the dragon)  The DB and Nerevarine would whoop A** because the DB is best against dragons and Nerevarine is immune to all disease. Other princes like Namira, Sanguine, and Clavicus Vile would have a very hard time against the heroes simply because their spheres of influence are weak compared to the various powers of the heroes.

ON THE OTHER HAND If it were Dagon, Malacath, Hircine, Molag Bal, or Boethia the heroes would probably win with heavy losses due to the combat powers of those princes. Their abilities lie in destruction, killing, domination, etc. The heroes are god level in the lore (except for HoK) so id say they would win with heavy wounds.

Some princes they have no chance against. Vermina could put them all to sleep, Nocturnal could steal all their power, Meridia could take their life force, Mephala or Hermaeus Mora could avoid a fight by twisting the strings of fate, and Sheogorath could cause them to lose because they are really likely to win (the stronger his opponent the more insane it would be for him to win so he could make that happen; killing immortals like the nereverine or making a dragon beat the DB).

In the end it depends on the match up.
