I don't think I can weigh in on this fairly as the only novel portrayals of Vader that I have are from TFU, and everything else is from the films and guidebooks.
I don't think so. Most of Bane's uber-feats owed, at least in part, to orbalisks and dark side nexuses. On neutral ground, Vader has consistently higher showings. Bane might still wreck him in lightsaber combat, though.
"The Daemon lied with every breath. It could not help itself but to deceive and dismay, to riddle and ruin. The more we conversed, the closer I drew to one singularly ineluctable fact: I would gain no wisdom here."
A comprehensive response with scans/quotes will have to come later, I'm playing Halo 4 atm. If you want to get a head start though, his feats in TFU2 across all platforms are pretty noteworthy.

I completed my solo Legendary run last week. Wasn't' too bad. -flex-
Cortana's so adorable.

I love Vader so much, but even I can't stand behind Lord Vader on this one. Unless this is Bane before the ending of PoD, I don't see Vader wining. Vader's TK would still not make it a Picnic for Bane....

If this discussion persists, I'm going to borrow liberally from Silver2467's exhaustive compilation of Vader!feats, but for now I'll provide some relevant ones from TFU2, which is very friendly for Vader.
Vader Force grips a clearly combat-ready Starkiller around the 7:16 mark, who, for all his vast power, is helpless to break the choke-hold by force.
His feats with the partitions beginning at the 4:04 mark and continuing on to the 4:22 mark are impressive, wrenching, destroying, and hurling them in tandem. The force with which Starkiller generates to repulse them (seen at the 4:27 mark) suggests strength to Vader's grip.
Vader goes on to collapse the elevator tower at the 4:33 mark.
Vader destroys a large section of the communications tower thrown at him by Starkiller at the 2:07 mark.
Vader chokes Starkiller again at the 3:14 mark and ragdolls him at the 3:24 mark.
He ragdolls Kota at the 2:09 mark, Starkiller at the 2:38 mark and walks him back into an energy field, holding him aloft for 20 seconds.
At the 8:22 mark, Vader wrenches a cloning platform from its moorings and hurls it at Starkiller. To understand its size, note that Vader is standing on an identical platform and that the two had been dueling on them previously in the fight. He repeats the action twice, I think.
