With saber Maul, no question in my eyes. His feats and ability surpass Zannah.
In a pure force battle? Zannah. Maul's force abilities seem limited to defense. In all out, though, Maul has the advantage. Zannah's sorcery is unlikely to give her a win against someone as disciplined and focused as Maul who's already faced his worst fears. Zannah's sorcery is also problematic for her as she can't attack well while using it. Maul is likely to figure out the 'kill Zannah while she's using it' tactic pretty quickly.

then again, Bane didn't figure it out. Bane once stood in a driving rainstorm and kept a single drop of rain from hitting him with his lightsaber. That is the single most impressive saber feat in the mythos, unless you have one that tops it. Zannah was inferior to bane with a saber, but not overwhelmingly so.

So comparatively, blocking a deluge of rain moving at, what, 9 meters a second, isn't a whole lot more impressive than, say, Obi-Wan holding off something like dozens of droids firing at him simultaneously in Labyrinth of Evil.

You don't get it. Bane is a pretty big guy. Lightsaber blades are not so much. Bane used something || <---that big to defend a body |......|<---that big. The lightsaber was covering an area several times wider than itself from a constant stream of water.
(Has anyone considered how ridiculous this would look? The text mentions him dodging the raindrops, but dodging to where? And he would basically be twirling the blade around above his head. Preposterous!
