Bane has a lightsaber to block lightning..... That didn't stop being a thing. 😬
But yeah, Dooku's lightning is crap compared to Bane's. Theres no evidence that Dooku'#s lightning is of sufficient intensity to destroy the Orbalisks.
You're also forgetting that the Orbalisks absorbed over a million volts of electricity earlier in the book. He was hit by multiple attacks that each could fry a Bantha.
Dooku competed with yoda, a pre-prime yoda. As of his prime Yoda is ~ Sidious who choked Dooku from across the galaxy(holistic intent is obvious) and Anakin who beat him incredibly decisively pre-prime.
That said, Jedi Dooku was > Jedi Revan despite not having yet underwent a massive power growth when he turned to the darkside. Vader has better feats/scaling then anyone on team 2, and Sidious can force Vader bend on his knees from across the galaxy.
Bane isn't up to snuff vs anyone on the other team.
Team 1 rofl stomps here.

Based on what? Without his power amped through the roof, what lightning feats of Bane's could Dooku not replicate?
Despite only using one hand (generating less power) over a long distance, Yoda still had difficulty deflecting Dooku's lightning.

Well that's down to the fact that the actual demonstrations of a Banite Sith overthrowing their masters haven't exactly demonstrated some immense generational growth. In practice, whilst the growth may have occurred, I'm not convinced it's as great as others would claim.
So a significant fraction of Banite apprentices overthrew their masters in direct combat, and this probably happened 1) consistently (e.g. master rarely wins) and 2) before the apprentice's prime. That alone is a large power chain, and then we know that even those apprentices who replaced their masters via other means were stated to be more powerful.
I mean, even the last three of the Banite line had large differences in power (Tenebrous -> Plagueis -> Sidious) such that even RotS Sidious would absolutely destroy Tenebrous.
