My votes with Obi wan, but I could be swayed either way

Lmao. An Anakin who's more conflicted then he's ever been having just choked out his wife and fighting a man who he considered a brother. And this is what he was capable of when thinking about someone even connected to his wife just weeks before.
"Oh, but it is personal, Anakin told himself while he watched Obi-Wan, Cody, and four troopers disappear into the turbolift. It was personal because of what Nute Gunray had done to Naboo thirteen years ago. It was personal because of Gunray's hiring of Jango Fett to assassinate Padme three years ago - - first with a bomb planted on her ship, then with the pair of kouhuns a changling had inserted into Padme's Senatorial quarters on Coruscant. The woman Anakin loved above all else. His wife. The deepest though brightest of his secrets. Even Obi-Wan didn't know, for that would have created problems.
Finally, it was personal because of all that had occurred on Geonosis: the mock trial, the sentencing, the executions that were to have taken place in the arena... Even if he could put all that aside, as Obi-Wan plainly wanted him to do, it was personal because Gunray had aligned himself with Dooku and the Separatists, and the war they had planned from the start had brought ruin to a thousand worlds. The deaths of the Separatist leaders was the only solution now. It had always been the solution, despite objections by certain members of the Jedi Council, who still believed in peaceful resolutions.
"Despite the Senate's attempts to bind the hands of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, so that corrupt politicians could continue to turn a profit. Line the pockets of their shimmersilk cloaks with kickbacks from the immoral corporations that funded the war machine. Supplying both sides with weapons, ships, whatever was needed to extend the conflict. It made Anakin's blood boil." - Labyrinth of Evil.
"Withdrawing the blade, he stepped back from the door and moved his hands through a Force pass, willing the iris portal to open. The door shuddered but remained sealed. Screaming through gnashed teeth, he tried again. When the commandos finally caught up with him, he spun to them.
"Blow the door!" A commando hurried forward to place magnetic charges against the alloy. Anakin paced behind him, waiting. Another commando had to tug him to a safe distance. The charges blew, and the portal yielded." - Labyrinth of Evil.

What has Mara done that is so spectacular? trade Force shots with an obviously injured Caedus? The same Caedus who jobbed like he was paid by Bill Gates the entire LotF series?
Held back a massive cave-in from crushing her and Jaina while exhausted and suffering from coomb spores/seeds that take "tremendous amounts of Force power" to merely hold back and continuously change the molecular structure of their target.
Held up tons of rock while forming a bubble to keep her and Jaina floating upwards for hours, with strain, while still aflicted with the coomb spores.
And she would've instantly become Luke's greatest student at the Jedi Academy, decades pre-prime and while her connection to Sheev hindered her, IIRC(his death caused her Force powers to subside for some reason). This puts her ahead of Kam Solusar circa-12 ABY who has limited control over Force Storms and can hurl massive rocks that damage TIE-fighters, or Gantoris who, as a child, saved himself from a cave-in via TK.
Also, is there proof Jacen was jobbing against Mara Jade, in any way? I mean, Mara was "among the absolute strongest of the Jedi Knights" and was ranked alongside Jacen and Luke as a warrior. And Jacen's amped himself off of worse injuries, tbh.
Isn't an excuse, it's actual canonical fact. Besides, even hindered Annie is damn powerful. Not powerful enough that holding him off equals besting Mara in the Force, but ranks Kenobi highly on the totem poll.
