Whilst I am not disagreeing per se, Anakin would only be the most powerful in the force.
If Obi-Wan had not capitalised on Anakin's mistake, I get the feeling that a person of his nature would become an accident waiting to happen. He may have calmed down, but he may have become even more reckless!
This is why I think that people concentrate too much on raw force power.
I would actually take Sidious over a maxed-out ("potential" wise) Anakin.
