Windu could take Bane sans the orbalisks, and Qui-Gonn AND Kota should be able to handle Maul. (not necessarily, but it would be a long enough fight for Windu to handle Bane. So then Windu beats Maul.)
I think Bane would stand up to Mace
Maul would stand up to Kota and Qui gon than Maul would probably knock Kota away, finish Qui gon, finish Kota and help Bane finish mace

Well of course they're going to "stand up" to each other. The same way you can "stand up" to a a guy with a gun pointed at you.
Just because Qui-Gon was defeated by Maul doesn't mean he's obscenely far below him. And with Kota helping him (seriously, the hell is up with this guy and Kota), Maul is facing defeat. He hasn't even had time to choose his ground like he had in TPM.
And without his Orbalisks, Bane is going downtown, but he's got no money for shopping. Mace's Vaapad and exceptional skill is going to defeat him, no doubts. Not saying it's a WTFpwn, but Mace will win. If Kota and Qui-Gon haven't dealt with Maul by then, Mace soon will.

I think qui-gon and kota would defeat maul before mace could defeat bane, so then you have three strong jedi against bane. Bane gets mega crushed!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nothing strange about it. But that don't stop Kota from being overused (especially concerning his ambiguity).

I think you guys are still underestimating Maul -.-

Qui Gon died. Obi Wan won via Maul's overconfidence. He wouldn't be overconfident with another Jedi Master.

How do you know? Are you his therapist. People on this forum often take the stance of being someone's mental doctor. You don't know what he's going to do. If anything, his overconfidence is part of his character and his weakness so he'll probably do it again and again.
they were doing a pretty good job of beating Maul back before he managed to knock kenobi off the walkway. I've not read TPM novelization in some time, but I think it was Qui Gonn's decisiont to push the fight against Maul before Kenobi got back into it. Bad decision, hindsight being what it is.
He probably won't have the other Jedi at his Mercy, he only got overconfident because he dispatched Obi Wan easily. He won't be dispaching either of them easily if at all.

Gideon made a great case for Maul. According to the novel, Maul had been directing the duel from the beginning, leading them to a place of his choosing where he capitalize on Ataru's need for breathing space.
As this is Mustafar (and I can only assume the facility), then the hallways may once again play against Qui-Gon. But with Kota there as well... I'd give Maul a 4/10, seeing as how there's been no prep time like there had been in TPM.
