Pardon? Are you implying that there's a decent chance that either Bane, Vader, or Revan have a decent chance of defeating him individually or "push him to the brink"?
Not really, but if Caedus can give Luke hell I'm sure the three listed (whom each have something over Jacen in one area or anther) could do the same. While Luke is definitively the strongest, thanks to the LOTF authors its not impossible for any of the top tier characters of SW to give him a run.

Caedus gave him a run for his money because Luke had to protect Ben from turning to the dark side. We all saw what happened when Luke got serious. He held Jacen up with the force without moving his hands, and Jacen couldn't do anything about it. The mere suggestion that any of these would give him that much trouble is outright hilarious. Not to mention, Jacen was deemed more powerful than Vader.
Jacen's "command of the Force" had surpassed that of the older Darth Vader, so he'd tool the pre-Mustafar incarnation in that regard, and considering how he fights it's more than possible that he'd take a lightsaber duel as well.

Luke doesn't stand a chance. It won't exactly be a curbstomp, though.
To elaborate, both Bane and Pre-Suit Vader are incredibly skilled lightsaber prodigies (I'd personally put Caedus and Anakin roughly on par with each other in a lightsaber match), and should both, possibly, be able to not get exactly get WTFpwned in a lightsaber duel with Luke Skywalker while fighting individually. Together, they beat Luke rather handily in lightsaber combat.
The force fight? While non exactly come close, Bane and Revan are both known to be immensely talented practioners of the dark side, implying that they could, possibly, be able to overpower Luke's defenses in a force fight. Or maybe not. I'd give Luke a slight chance to defeat them in a force fight.
All-out? I'd reckon the Team certainly wins, unless Luke uses Emerald Lightning to take out Bane before the fight actually begins. If so, he would probably defeat Revan and Anakin.
Even vs the assassins he falls to his knees when their force pikes hit and then after the duel on tython, Caleb and Zannah, use a charge needle to remove the orbalisks from Bane's body. If he is hit by Luke's lightning he is gone.

Those force pikes were set at lethal levels and there were five of them. One force pike would probably have killed him, five was overkill. But the orbalisks absorbed enough of the charge for him to only be momentarily stunned.
How powerful is Lukes lightning? Is it at lethal levels?

if you leave bane out of it, replace him with almost anyone else, except for sidious, and then i think you would have to give it to luke. Vader would be hard pressed to compete against NJO luke at all, We known next to nothing about Revan's abilities in hand to hand combat, and then its all about your third member.
