When Malgus can withstand the explosion of Cymoon 1, destroy AT-ATs, disintegrate Lyleks that are tougher than armor, be considered greater than Maul or Dooku, will himself back from having his life support systems shut down, and fight on par with the likes of Ben Kenobi call me
Malgus struggled with a Single troop transport, meanwhile Vader can telepathically command Cyclos ship to fly into A star, and can manipulate freighters. Malgus isn't even in Vaders ballpark when it comes to feats

Not at all, Sidious is referring to Decieved!Malgus. Emperor Malgus achieves two massive power growths after that fact. What it means is that, one of his weaker incarnations is already unmatched as a Sith warrior on the battlefield, according to Darth Sidious.
He's already of legendary prowess before he grows in power for decades. Noting that Decieved has Malgus finally achieving a sense of Oneness with the dark side of the Force, at the very end of the novel. Meaning he's only just begun taking his first steps as a true master of the dark side.
Given that he has decades of power growth following this, then Malgus' power by the time of his prime must be insane given he gets such an immensely impressive accolade, less than half-way through his career as a Sith Lord.

How is this remotely significant when someone who couldn't even deflect lightning from a significantly pre prime Malgus could ragdoll six tramcars at the same time without the slightest effort?
Tearing 'black holes' in the body of a Jedi Knight overpowering his lightsaber defenses with lightning while massively pre prime and severely wounded seems impressive as well.
Malgus' battlefield feats quote, at minimum, puts him on par with them, if not above.
Darth Sion is more impressive in this aspect.
Impressive, I don't deny. We should note, however, that Apprentice Malgus and Deceived Malgus killed two of the three most notable Jedi warriors of the entire era (the other being Revan), before growing immensely in power.
Not only a troop transport but also a support freighter with modified engines more potent than stock ones. Engines that, contrary to Vader's, actively resisted Malgus' telekinetic pull with their maximum power and are capable to reach hundreds of G's of acceleration. All before a big upgrade in power and twelve years of growth.
?
When their engines are damaged and the ship isn't actively resisting.
