vader might have practiced alot, but not against the kind of opponent he would have been fighting during the days of the jedi. i cant see sidious taking out his saber and sparring with vader. hes a great fighter, no question, he can take out humans no trouble, but up against a sith lord who had beaten mace windu in combat and proven himself second only to yoda i think vader is lacking.
and ben would be good with the force, but the light side lacks the serious offencive edge of the dark side. i still say dooku takes it.
he was good. but most arnt jedi masters, and none are skilled enough to survive an encounter with dooku for much longer than obi wan did in aotc. vader is good, but dooku would pick him part.

Yeah, they were people powerful enough to initially escape Order 66. Read some Empire comics, Crimson Empire, and Purge, then tell me Vader is clunky, inexperienced, and slow.
ive read crimson empire, and it shows vader as exceptionally skilled, against humans with no jedi or sith training. ive read a bit of empire but not heaps. vader vs that pack of dog things was awesome. i still say against the 2nd best swordsman in the jedi order vader is slow and awkward.
