ROTJ Vader is 80% of Sidious so he alone, one on one, wouldn't get pwnd, but Sidious would beat him comfortably. Dooku put up a good fight against Yoda so he therefor would put up a good fight against Sidious (one on one). And Maul, who is the weakest link here, alone, when angry, nearly killed Sidious (though Sidious wasn't trying to kill Maul). So take someone who could alone put up a good fight against Sidious, anotehr who wouldn't get beaten to badly and another who could nearly kill him when Sidious was only trying to defend himself and you result in having Sidious get pwnd badly.
Without insta-kills, none of these characters, against practically anyone, would get beaten badly. They are all solid contenders. Vader, and Dooku have both shown very powerful force attacks, and, Maul has to a much lesser extent. If needed, Maul will be a melee meat-shield. If the team can work together, with force and lightsaber assaults, they can take out DE Sidious, assuming he doesn't throw, a force storm at them.
I think DE Sidious knows way to many force techniques to get beaten by these. He could do alot of things, I for one, don't belive that Dooku nor Maul would be able to resist his drain or lightning, possibly not Vader either. Or else, well in "The Mandalorian armor" he tools Vader like hell by shutting down his equipment with the force, and Vader can't do shit about it....
Vader dies in mere seconds, due to a full onslaught of Sith Lightning from Sidious. He may be 80% of Sidious force wise, but his suit is a MAJOR weakness against people who can use lightning.
Maul just gets tooled with Palps snapping his neck or something with the force (uber powerful force choak). Maul is a saber duelist, ROTS Sidious would tool maul in both saber and force. DE Sidious is faster, younger, and his force powers are much superior to his ROTS self. So Maul goes down quickly enough after Vader's 3 second appearance. Basically Maul and Vader go down before Dooku could even fully try to engage Sidious in saber combat. In which case it becomes DE Sidious vs. Dooku. Which is just a retarded battle no matter how you slice it. Dooku gets owned.
If it's ROTS Sidious, then he gets slaughtered.
If it's DE Sidious, hmmm. Sidious could in fact take this as he could fry Vader up and then beat Maul while fighting Dooku at the same time. Then he slays Tyrannus.
Or of course, DE Sidious loses badly as each of his apprentices are almost as good as him.

Are you new?
None of these people are remotely close to DE Sidious.
Maul is like a meat shield in comparison to DE Sidious. Completely useless in almost every way.
All Vader can do is choke people and use his "I'm useless against a saber duelist who is faster then me" skills. Sid's uses lightning and kills him in seconds. Or he can just beat him in a saber duel, but lighting is more owned and Sid's likes to own people, so I'm sure he'd just do that.
Dooku, while the closest of the 3 to Sidious, isn't even in the same galaxy as DE Sidious in terms of Force power. A saber duel would/could be a close one, but force wise Dooku just gets b!tch slapped around.
None of these people are close to DE Sidious, who, is the most powerful Sith Lord of all time.

Pretty much, 'cept Sidious coulden't beat Vader comfortably...
I say the trio win - but barely.
Also, two of the three would perish in the attempt.
I know one of them would be Maul...
