Team 1 honestly stomps. Vader can't keep up with Nyriss in a lightsaber duel and stalemates her in the Force at best, and is two tiers beneath Nox as a Force user, pre-prime Nox was already trumping Thanaton, who is > Vader. Maul can be instantly ragdolled by Nyriss or Nox, he is a non-factor, and would die shortly in a regular duel too.
Nyriss was superior to hindered Meetra Surik and amped Scourge on a nexus, but even on that nexus, this duo managed to defeat a squad of Imperial Guardsmen. Guardsmen so powerfully amped by Vitiate, they were capable of semi-resistance to Revan's telekinesis, the same guy who ragdolled Satele, Marr, Beniko and a few others at once. That general Force flow amplification must have naturally amplified their reactions, speed, physicals, since Force's support just works that way. I can't even imagine how insanely dangerous these Guardsmen must have been, and Nyriss was still better than the people that trumped this team.
Nyriss pretty much stomps Vader in a fight, same with Maul.
Not to mention Nox, the Sith Lord that forced Thanaton into submission with Force alone, with Thanaton demonstrating Top 3 Lightning material in the entire mythos. Nox proven superior to him, and that was even before Nox's prime. Not sure about dueling but Nox could easily ragdoll Maul, or overpower Vader swiftly with the Force.

Team 1 for sure. Vader's TK is a threat, but he has no way of surviving a sorcery attack from either opponent. Same with Maul. Plus team 1 has the homefield advantage here with them knowing the environment much better than either of team 2 (who I doubt have ever visited the Kaas system). Unless Maul can take on Nyriss in sabers, and Vader somehow do the same with Nox, it's a clear win for team TOR. Maul can keep up with Nyriss (IMO) but idk if Vader would given his armor restrictions and such. Vader would beat Nox in a pure saber contest, however people always lowball her saber skills with a saberstaff. Add in Nox's Force ability and she'd probably last a solid while, or just stun him with a blast of lightning and finish him off with sorcery.
I go with team 1, myself. Nyriss can hold off Vader while Nox beats on Maul. While I'm not sure Maul would go down as easily as Thanaton, I can't really justify why not to myself. Probably Maul's fast and skilled enough to put up a fight but when Nox goes ham on him with the Force she should just beat him down Sidious-style.

I'm pretty sure you already know all of Nyriss' shit. She clobbered Meetra and Scourge and has a ton of sorcery she could throw at Vader to keep him on his toes. I never bought into the fanon bullshit that Meetra was weakened. She performed her best feats on a planet vastly darker than Dromund Kaas, don't paint her as some wilting flower. Nyriss kicks ass, end of story. If she can hit Vader with her charged up lightning he'd be in serious trouble.
