Here let's put it in ACTUAL perspective. Better mastery of the Force? Revan or possibly a tie. Yoda's good but Revan was strong enough to control the Star Forge fully which every other Sith couldn't do (Malak couldn't do it nearly as well). He resisted the dark side temptations of Malachor V when EVERY other Jedi turned to the dark side, even Kreia.
More knowledge? Revan by far. He learned everything about the Jedi and Sith in a golden age with many wars.
Better duelist? Revan. He crushed everyone he faced with ease, learned hundreds of ways to kill or turn Jedi, found many many Jedi and Sith artifacts and relics (including Tulak Hord's holocron). He defeated Malak, he regenerated his power and Revan beat him again without resting. AFTER that he got far stronger.
Stronger Will? Revan by far. His will is legendary and no one can match it really.
Potential? Tie probably. As a padawan, Revan's teachers knew he would become a champion of the Force, Kreia said he was power and staring at him was like staring into the heart of the Force. Yoda had more midi-chlorians than anyone of 900 years until Anakin.
Combat experience? Revan by far. He is a military genius, perhaps the greatest ever. He alone could easily swing the tide of almost any battle. Mandalorians were defeating Republic, Revan leads Republic then the Mandalorians lose. Revan turns on Republic as leader of Sith and defeats Republic. Revan turns (Sorta) back to Republic side and defeats the Sith. Then he goes to fight the Sith single-handedly. Yoda lived in a millenia of peace save for the clone wars which were only 3 years. And he was on the Council so he didn't get out much.
Powerful Opponents defeated? Revan. He defeated the Dark lord of the Sith twice, his apprentice, the best bounty hunter in the galaxy at the time, Mandalore, the strongest Echani, every Jedi or Sith he ever fought (which is in the hundreds, maybe thousands). He defeats two Jedi masters same time with ease. In the original KOTOR 2 ending he was also going to defeat the Exile who defeated Kreia. Yoda was winning Dooku and was winning against Sidious. Wow. Anakin had Dooku at his mercy and Mace had Sidious at his mercy.
Yoda's freakin powerful but Lord Revan is in a class of his own...
