TBH I am not sure how each team fares against Sids.
Bearing in mind that TFU Marek was ultimately no match for him, I see no reason to think that adding Vader, who I put slightly below Marek, will make a difference.
With team 2 I put RoT Bane above Marek/Vader/Revan, and IMHO he has a decent shot by himself. But as of now, I’m giving Palpatine the win. Adding Revan might prove troublesome to Palpatine at first, but I’m confident he will be less of a nuisance to him than Marek was in TFU.
As to team 1 vs. team 2 fight, I give the nod to team 1 simply becacuse they are, arguably, eclipsing team 2 with their Force powers. Furthermore, I feel that neither Vader (maybe nor even Marek) are far below RoT Bane is close combat skills. In other words, for me Revan is a weak link here.

Yes, but given that Marek is a practitioner of Juyo and therefore "a high-end master of multiple forms," we can conclude that this is not the result of lackluster skill but the formidable talent of his enemies.
I just wanted to mention something about this. Isn't Revan skilled in all forms of lightsaber combat, per Karpyshyn? If so, that would include Juyo...
Revan is immensely underestimated because of lack of written information about his exploits. Accomplishments wise, he will smoke majority in the mythos. The only being who put him in his place is canonically "a godlike avatar of the dark side" who have dismantled whole Strike Teams of bad@sses without difficulty.
I think Revan is good enough to subdue Marek after a decent fight and then decide the fate of encounter between Vader and Bane.
Marek is just a "Revan inspired wannabe clone" with creative liberties on his side.
Also, lightsaber dueling is not just about impressive martial skills. A Force-user with great understanding of the Force can perceive enemy actions with great clarity and react with great precision and speed accordingly. This is why Revan is such a potent and effective duelist and have cutdown so many foes ranging from Mandalorians to Sith Lords to gigantic droids to other extremely martial opponents and you name it.

I agree that Revan has a good chance of beating Marek. However it would be a very close fight imo, not just a "decent fight".where does it say Vitiate is a "godlike avatar of the dark side"

This is nit-picking, but that Marek is a mere practitioner of Juyo does not credit him with high-end mastery of multiple forms. I recall that you'll need to be a master of Juyo to be credited with such an accolade.
Pretty sure it's practitioner, but then I don't have my source onhand.
