Yoda managed to shame Count Dooku, one of the most proficient duelists and powerful Sith Lords in galactic history, on a planet steeped within the dark side of the Force, boosting the Count's power to such a level that he nearly killed Asajj Ventress by lifting a finger. Yoda did so [defeated Dooku] despite being distracted and repeatedly expressed his desire to not kill Dooku.He would then go toe-to-toe with the most powerful Sith Lord in history, and the two of them would hurl automobile sized Senate pods like paper wads.
Yoda also evaded three armed Jedi Masters in close quarters combat, one of them being the great Depa Billaba, who was a swordswoman of great repute; he wasn't armed at the time.
His skills with the lightsaber, according to Shadow Hunter and other sources, were second to none on the Jedi Council, putting him above the likes of Mace Windu, who was a "high end master of multiple forms" and the creator of the deadliest of all forms.
The Revenge of the Sith novelization declares that Yoda is "the most devastatingly powerful foe the darkness had ever known" and the Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia states that he was "extraordinarily powerful in the Force."
...
On the flipside, Caedus has outmaneuvered Kyle Katarn despite the active intervention and interference of Katarn's strike team. He also demonstrated sufficient proficiency with a lightsaber enough to threaten Luke Skywalker on reasonably even footing, though we can surmise from Skywalker's later feats in Invincible and his earlier feats in Inferno that Caedus, though on par with Luke as a swordsman, lags a bit behind in mastery of the Force.
The inside cover of Invincible refers to Caedus as possessing a command of the Force "surpassing even his grandfather, Darth Vader" -- the qualifier "even" suggesting that that is his upper limit -- and also mentions that Caedus is "one of the most powerful Sith Lords of all time." (Then again, the cover of one of the Hand of Thrawn books mentions that a dead Grand Admiral Thrawn is the greatest enemy the New Republic has ever faced, which precludes a live Grand Admiral Thrawn and the reborn Emperor. So we'll take it with a grain of salt.)
He also schooled Jaina despite being handicapped, possesses a ridiculous threshold for pain, and is a master of the shatterpoint charism.
I'm going with Yoda.
Well done, Master Gideon pray.

Tough match could go either way I think, all depends on how each individual plays their cards and in what fashion employs their style. Would be tough and interesting to see the brutal, vicious brawl that would ensue between the two, Caedus and Yoda.
Yes, Caedus is a bad ass, with an amazing amount of raw power and a pain threshhold that's as high as anyone else in the mythos (notice I ddn't say higher than, as there a a few that rival his). However, Yoda is simply too in tune with the force, too savvy, as well as far too refined in general for Caedus to walk away from this battle alive. This of course assuming that Yoda is intent on putting an end to Caedus. That's my two cents.
