Speculation on Dooku's part is better than nothing. If i had to bet, my money would be on Darth Yoda.

Based on Dooku saying that a dark side Yoda would annihilate Sidious as of Dark Rendezvous, yes. Annihilate is a very strong term. Did Sidiuos improve dramatically enough by DE not to be defeated?

Going with Palpatine. 'Darth Yoda' may have been able to defeat RotS Palpatine, but there were literally decades of time beyond that point, of which Palpatine utilized to further increase his power (Palps did say that he was far more powerful in DE than he'd EVER been.) That said, I can't imagine Yoda still being able to bridge that significant of a power gap -- especially since we know nothing about him other than the few lines of speculation Dooku spoke.

I'd say Palpatine, definitely. But that's only because I don't like Yoda.

Gotta go with DE Sidious on this one, he stalemated Yoda in ROTS and imho that is the most powerful Yoda would ever be. If Yoda went to the dark side i think that he would lose a lot of his light side powers and that the dark side powers would not make up for that.
Plus if Dooku's opinion is worthy, so too is Sidious's who said himself he was even stronger than ever in DE.
Based on...? Dooku got more powerful after going to the dark side. It seems that happens to most people that choose to do so. Even the Jedi Master(Jai Murak?) who was killed by Ventress in I think Dark Rendezvous said he could have won if he used the dark side, but he chose not to.

This is based on the fact that Yoda was such a master of the light side that i personally do not believe he would have become stronger, i rewatched the Yoda vs Sidious fight scenes from ROTS and he totally held his own against Sidious, he even force pushed him across the room. Sidious was also such a master of the dark side that it would not matter, if Yoda used dark side powers then Sidious would just use a more powerful version in return.
Plus, it took Yoda centuries to master the light side, are you saying that he would not need a pretty long time to master the dark side as well.
The dark side is the 'quick and easy' path, not the stronger after all. It's useful for getting more powerful in a hurry, but even so the top ranks of the light and dark don't have much of a power difference.
Dooku's opinion has to carry more weight than yours does man.
