I've not read those tie-in Kanan books, but since when does a padawan take in his own padawan? Again, from what I've seen, Kanan as of the beginning of season 1 is a jedi knight, taking on and training his own apprentice, being able to mind control multiple wild beasts, and pretty good showings of TK: stopping a fast rotating massive fan, manipulating a large cave and preventing it from crashing down on him and Ezra (though he did do it with Ezra's help, but he seemed to maintain it on his own while Ezra faced his fears; also, it might have been strong with the force, being an old jedi temple but it wasn't stated, so?), repulsed multiple storm troopers, and perhaps a lot more. He's improved significantly since then based on his victory over the inquisitor by the end of the season.
Joker, considering the inquisitors skills and knowledge of saber forms, his occupation hunting and killing jedi for a living, and even his feat of torturing Kanan with TP, I don't see why he wouldn't rival the average sith lord of Raskta's era? He seems like a pretty advanced force user. Ventress is no doubt above most of them, yet she doesn't hold the title, but those sith lords wouldn't hold that title in the PT/OT era either. Not arguing that he can beat her, but she gets slaughtered by 10 and even far less than that. I don't really think having "lords" under her belt would mean much, considering the quality of sith in that era.

Raskta is somewhat hard to gauge because of her limited exposure, and the fact we don't know any of the specific Sith Lords she faced off with. But since Raskta's era was heavily embroiled in war, I think it's fair to assume that the Sith she fought were experienced fighting Jedi just like the Inquisitor. Even if the Sith of that time weren't that great in the grand scheme of things, they should've been fairly competent to earn the rank of Sith Lord (who were the counterparts of Jedi Masters during that time). At the very least they should rival the Inquisitor, but like the Inquisitor, we don't know much about their experience fighting Jedi.
Also, I was under the assumption that this thread was Lsu fighting 10 Imperial Inquisitors, the Inquisitors we see in Rebels. The Pau'an Inquisitor's feats don't translate to the rest of the Inquisition that Raskta would be fighting in this hypothetical.
Just to note, that the Inquisitor was actually the Grand Inquisitor, so he may have been the most powerful and skilled among them.
I'm also going to throw this out there: "In relying on such a mechanical lightsaber model, the Inquisitor betrays one weakness: his fighting skills are not as potent as his analytical skills." - Ultimate Star Wars
Kanan, once he's back into shape, may be Knight level, but he's never been formally given the title, and note how one of the things he did was try and search out a more qualified master, til Erza beat it into his head that he wanted Kanan, not someone else.
He's a Padawan who's worked his way up to Knight level, in short.
They definitely wouldn't hold the title of Sith Lord during the Rule of Two era... but taking groups around 10 of the Brotherhood Sith Lords is probably not something she hasn't done on occasion.
If he's the best, it rather fits with the EU version that also has most Inquisitors be basically 'trip wires,' who either kill weak Jedi or alert Vader to strong ones with their deaths.
