Vader I think, though certainly not a stomp.
Although this logic is most likely flawed, my thoughts on sabers are that well, Sidious wouldn't really have "improved" beyond what he was in RotS, so he's a 9. Anakin was a 9 as well, and Lucas and other source material have hinted/confirmed that Anakin may have been able to topple the emperor had he not been maimed by Kenobi. Now, Luke took on the emperor in sabers and got his ass handed to him in a very short confrontation, with Sheev managing to literally disarm Luke, saber out of hand.

Luke by Shadows of Mindor has Cronal saying Lukes force power is already greater than Vaders. It's backed up by how he says "and soon the Emperors" or something like that. Though Vaders mastery might be better.

A feeling of fullness, of power, of dark and demon mastery -- of secret lusts, unrestrained passion, wild submission -- all these things were in Vader's heart as he neared his Emperor. These things and more."
Sidious may not have honed his combat skills since RotS but he both got put into his physical prime and, more importantly, grew *much* more powerful in the Force.

Question is, how long would knightfall Anakin last in combat against DE Sidious as opposed to his son. Longer I would think.
