Darth Vader at his prime as machine-man or
Anakin Skywalker at his prime before he became Darth Vader?
Personally I go for Darth Vader. As Anakin he had more speed and higher midichlorians, but he was not yet an experienced Jedi though he killed Dooku easy and was extremely powerful already.
As Darth Vader he was full experienced in the force and he got extra power from the dark side.
When was he strongest - as Anakin at his prime just before he become Vader or when be was Vader.
But judged from your "Anakin WAS Vader at his prime...." I suggest that you would vote for Anakin if you have voted and not just called the poll stupid.
Edit: It is not nice calling other peoples poll stupid, especially when you are a MODERATOR - I made this poll because I think it was very interesting. When was Anakin/Vader strongest - as Vader or as Anakin?

OT Vader is a slow and unskilled piece of shit, Anakin would merk him in saber combat, but it's been shown that Vader's force mastery is beyond Anakin's, even if his connection has been weakened.
Planet, this do not answer the question - who would win in a fight (if they could )? Would Anakin win because of his speed and light-saber skill or would Vader win using the force?
Doesn't this go in the SW versus section? Anyways, Anakin would just overwhelm him in lightsaber combat, and I'm pretty sure Vader wouldn't be able to do jack with the force. Anakin wins.
Which section?
We got 3 Star Wars sections - I thought this was the best.
Do we got other than these 3?
Anakin may be better though it is not my opinion - but I respect yours. Judged from only the movies I have always thought that Darth Vader was the Greatest of them all - he always seemed so powerful and it have only been just a matter of time before he decided to kill Sidious (my opinion).
You mean the Darth Vader before he was Mustafared by Obi-Wan compared to the Darth Vader as of the OT?
If that's it, then I'd say OT Vader would lose to pre-suit Vader's speed.

Vader was a weakling, his ability to use the force was nothing compared to Anakins. He crippled himself.
The synthesis, as queeq pointed out, was Anakin/Vaders strongest point. And he can't beat himself physically.
Though its ironic that when Anakin is a synthesis of light and dark, he is at his best. Maybe Lucas is trying to say something about the REAL balance of the force.
Yes for the most of you (speed win over force.....).
I do not agree - I think he was best as Vader.
PS. Anakin or Vader - he is for sure better than Obi Wan at his prime (big mistake from Lucas that Obi Wan could win in ep. 3 when Anakin was so powerful. Obi Wan had absolutely no chance against Dooku, but Anakin took out Dooku in a minute. - no logic).
