Cade.
His Force powers are strong enough to match Bane's (even Farfalla could create barriers that dulled Bane's Force pushes and Cade is vastly stronger than him) and his lightsabre skills are at least as good as Bane's or better.
Most importantly, at this point Bane was very reckless and didn't bother defending himself because the orbalisks meant he didn't need to. Cade however has his shatterpoint/dark heal ability which allows him to completely get around the orbalisk armour.
Cade wins this one.
That's a good point about Farfalla's shields, but they were amped at the time. But Neph pointed out Cade tanked a building exploding, so you may be on to something when it comes to his shields.
Also agreed that Orbalisk Bane is an unskilled brute, but Cade iirc doesn't possess any strength feats that suggest he can can break his defense. Dark transfer should afford him a few rounds, but Bane is too strong due to his orbalisks and amp to overcome for Cade.

Thanks.

No offence but that's what I'm saying. At this point Bane doesn't bother putting up any defense (except when a foe aims for his unarmoured head). Why bother defending against attacks that won't cause any damage if they connect? All Cage has to do is put a hand on him, say on his wrist for example, and its fight over.

Yeah, but:
Will get Bane killed.
Like I said, the fact that Bane doesn't bother with defending because of the orbalisks will be his undoing here. Cade touches him and uses Dark Healing to rip him apart.
Consider this, Cade nearly killed Shado Vao by using his power to manipulate the points where a being is weak or broken (he can either heal them or use them to rip the target apart). Bane has hundreds of parasites chewing away at his flesh all the time. That gives Cade plenty of such weak points to use.

What makes you think Cade could extend his arm to grab Bane without Bane cutting it off?
The fact that Bane doesn't focus on defence. Plus, you know, the fact that Cade's an expert duelist in his own right. He's not going to just stick his arm out without any kind of set-up.
Cade feints at his head, Bane goes to block, Cade darts in and puts his hand somewhere that isn't a major target in combat (please no jokes) which he can easily do as Bane won't even bother trying to protect said spot. Something like that.
It doesn't even need to be an actual attack (like say going for a grab in order to grapple him), just a touch will do.

What makes you think Cade could trick him with such a maneuver? Has Cade ever been shown applying such maneuvers? And how often does Cade actually go for the DT in combat?
Not to mention Cade still has Bane's offense to deal with.

Bane was retarded enough for Raskta to discover that she could slash at his wrists and openings and she even slashed him six times. Cade can easily take a few rounds based on exploiting the same openings.
