I don't know next to little regarding Darth Bane's combat ability, so with that in mind - I can't estimate on how effective he'd be. I do believe that Sidious could defeat Dooku in battle, but Traya has that nifty instakill technique, which would probably kill Bane and Sidious.
Sidious could defeat Dooku (sort of why Sidious is the Master)
Traya could defeat Bane
Comes right down to it if the terrian is right Sidious could defeat Traya but if it is a neutral setting I'm sure Traya would win but I really can't tell for I really haven't played KoToR II.
It all depends on whether or not Traya can instakill. If she can't, Bane would kill her and Dooku would fight off Sidious and then Dooku and Bane would together take him down.

Which is why I deplore her idea of an instakill . . . but it doesn't change the facts that it exists. Also it's Kreia and Dooku against Bane and Sidious.
If Kreia can't use her instakill, Sidious will kill Dooku and Bane will kill her, is what you mean, right?
Yeah. There were plenty of times when she could have used it, but didn't, so we need to believe that it is a limited power and she can use it only rarely.

Well . . . if she doesn't have the instakill ability, I don't think she'll win this one. Darth Bane has no instakills, but he has been depicted as an ultimate warrior. I don't believe her standard Force powers are that much greater than his, and I'd wager that she is the inferior duelist to him.
Without the instakill ability, she's going to lose. In the same token, Sidious is going to take down Dooku.
Even if Traya his Bane with he lightsaber, it's not going to hurt him. He's got lightsaber-resistent armor that can withstand light hits. He has knowledge from Nadds tomb too. Also note that he was the only sith strong enough to survive the thought bomb(the Jedi don't count becaus it was directed at them). Bane also has a lot more fighting experince, as he has been in war for around 30 years before it ends.

I agree with Glentract, though; Bane was a better swordsman, and would be a match for Dooku.
Sidious is better than Dooku, IMO. He's the Master, after all. Even if he's not better by much. Bane was stronger than him, of course, physically, and Traya more powerful.
So, the match up...
Bane vs. Dooku - After a long fight, might be Dooku...could be Bane, not sure, I'll go with Dooku...
Traya vs. Sidious - Traya is more powerful, but less of a swordsman than Palpatine. If it comes to a contest of power, she is superior, but otherwise, Sidious might take this.
Then it'd proceed to...
Sidious vs. Dooku - Sidious is superior, long fight, but unless Sidious pulls an Anakin, he wins.
Rex, how would Dooku take Bane? Bane is far better then Dooku. You have to remember that he was the most powerful Sith alive out of over 2,000 at Ruusan(it may have been 20,000, but I feel it's better to be conservative when making claims.) There weren't your run of the mill Sith either, they were battle hardened by the thousand year long war. Bane, after already being the strongest Sith, became more powerful when he got his suit and studied the writings in Nadd tomb. Remember that Bane can withstand a lightsaber strike even if Dooku manages to get a hit on him too, while if Bane hits Dooku the old man is down for the count. Also remember that the suit can pour adrenaline into Bane's vain when he needs it(ie. during combat).
