The first thing to do when dealing with a "versus" style track or release is to determine what kind of "versus" it is. There is some very detailed discussion about the various types on this page: Versus Means Different Things.

1. In the first case, where it is simply two artists collaborating, follow Featuring Artist Style.
2. In the second case, where it means one artist is remixing another, use the original artist as the Artist Name, and put the remixer into the track title as you would with other remixes, following the RemixStyle.
3. In the third case, where the track is a MashUp, use the mixer as the ArtistName, and put the two "versus" artist titles into the track name like so: "TrackTitle (Artist A vs. Artist B)" following the MashUpStyle.
