Well he fed of others dark emotions which is a technique restricted to dark siders unless you know Vaapad.
He also, of course, betrayed Revan and the Exile something I think no real lightsider would actually do.
I'm going with Surik here. Scourge at this point has no real feats to mention (he's hardly even high-up in the empire's hierarchy), but the Exile has fought against some rather upper tier sith lords.
Of course, Scourge is still fighting with the advantage of a DS force nexus. Take that away, and Surik likely wins comfortably.
