There have Been endless topics of the most powerful Sith Lords but that's almost always addressing personal power as in their mastery of the dark side. That's important of course but it's not the only thing that matters. Personal intelligence, the forces you command, your overall goals and ideas - these too are important.
\So my question to you all is this. Which Sith throughout SW history were the greatest threats to life and/or the Republic and Jedi?
I'm looking for at least three or so choices but feel free to list however many you wish. Also explain your reasoning please.

I'd figure that the Sith who actually managed to destroy the Republic and Jedi would be the biggest threat. He also commanded the largest, most powerful military. But after him... Vitiate, for his sheer power. And then... Krayt, for almost destroying the Republic and Jedi.

-The Sith Emperor/Darth Vitiate: He was stronger in the Force than Revan, who was the most powerful jedi of the time. Also, his plans to consume all living things and the Force, leaving the universe an empty void, makes him very dangerous.
-Darth Nihilus: He cared for very little. He had incredible and was consumed by a need to feed on the Force. He was adept in many different aspects of the Force. He had access to several Sith secrets of extreme power.
-Darth Sidious: He was a both strong in the Force and a political genius. He was able to gain control of the Republic thanks to these skills. He outwitted his master, Darth Tenebrous, and succeeded in destroying the present Jedi Order. He also succeeded in existing after his initial death and endangering the Republic and Jedi Order of that time.

As a child his brain was cybernetically enhanced allowing him to mind control droids. At that time he attempted to use Eye of Palpatine to dominate the galaxy by controlling mind of the ship. Later having his brain seriously damaged was put in stasis and after horrible experiments he became almost 3 meters tall, his Force power was enormously imbued by the implants in his head and he had 8 lightsabers attached directly to his body: 3 on each head and one from each knee.
He got free after Yuuzhan Vong occupied Corruscant. Unlike other Jedi, he didn't have trouble tearing Vong apart. His ability to control minds of others was so huge that it took combined effort from three powerful Jedi: Luke, Mara and Tahiri to resist him. Luke in terms of Force power was weak at that time and, if he was alone, there would be fair chance of him becoming his puppet. All three engaged him in lightsaber combat simultaneously and couldn't penetrate his multiple saber defense. A Yuuzhan Vong admired his strength and, yet, saw that his moves did not have sequences, that with training he would become even stronger.
Moreover, he tapped into Force Nexus and after was able to levitate and surround himself by Force storm, while Luke and his companions could use same Nexus just to throw a few more stones around.
Basically, he was described as unstoppable. Had there been other circumstances, who knows what threat he could pose to the galaxy.
The single fact that Luke was brought to him by Force visions already proves that it was a serious threat that rippled the Force with alarm.

Nyax gets no love on this forum. He was badass. I'd like to see how he handled Palpatines force lightening.

Propbably because trying to stick as many lightsabers on a character does not make him intresting... And no he is not nearly the biggest threat to the galaxy. Anyway, it's Palpatine. He was the only one who destroyed the Jedi and the Republic. Krayt is probably second.

Bias>logic/feats?
Not that I think he was the biggest danger to the galaxy.

Well it depends on what you mean by "greatest threat". Vitate's goal was likely the worst, but Palpatine was far closer to victory and held far more power. So I'd say he was the bigger threat.
It's like in comics, I'd say Darkseid is a bigger threat than Galactus.
