actually in ANH Obi says that he was "the greatest pilot in the galaxy" or something along those lines, and he had faced off against Jango and been in enough space battles that he knew what he was talking about. So even though Boba has the better ship, Vader takes this. In RotS even with 2 missiles fired at him he can avoid them, he also wanted to go help some squadren, and when you see what the squad was fighting, it was dozens of droids, yet both him and Obi seemed sure that he could deal with it, Obi just wanted him to focus on the mission
Yes, he was fighting droids, not someone like Boba who's father nearly killed Obi-Wan. Obi was a very good pilot and Lucas says: "Anakin wasn't the best starpilot in the galaxy, Obi was just trying to make Luke feel better" or something on that lines. I believe it's in the episode IV dvd commentary when Luke is in Ben's house.

Really, I didn't know this, thanks for the info.
And yes, I know those guys were droids, but it is still impressive that he could have taken on dozens of them.
I still say Anakin, though I don't really have any reasons besides what I already said. Man that makes me sound like a fanboy, meh, gut feeling I guess.
I agree. Vader is amazing. This is simply a fact. Boba is a great pilot, but Vader has powers of intuition which would come in handy in an air battle that Boba does not. Regardless of how many weapons the Slave I has and no matter the experience Boba has, this is a fight in which Vader's skill will be the determining factor, I believe.
AFAIK force users have some affinity to piloting, shown by Anakin, Obi, and Asajj's skill. Now, i don't wanna talk outta my arse (which i might be doing) but i think Saesee Tiin could easily take out Anakin in a space fight (yes, i know that's off topic). However, i think VADER would take out Fett's Slave.
