Not sure whats the difference between Novel Vitiate and SWTOR Vitiate. Same could be said for TPM Sidious and ROTS Sidious though. Leaning Vitaite due to his performance against Revan atm.
TPM!Sidious has no feats to examine, though we know he's already stronger than any of Bane's order perhaps barring Plagueis himself. Given the demands and constraints of his political office and weaving a galaxywide conspiracy, I think it's safe to assume Sidious wasn't consistently training in the Sith arts at this time. Still pretty hard to quantify.
If he's around ROTS!Sidious level {and I see no reason to believe that he's not}, he should take Vitiate. Comparable command of the Force and vastly superior skill.

I agree that he most likely didn't have much time to train. He probably grew in power though which is what matters most against an opponent like Vitiate.

Do you think Vitiate is not around ROTS Sidious level?

He may indeed have.

I do. I think he possesses comparable power, but that Sidious enjoys a tremendous skill advantage.
It's my belief that time usually leads to a natural maturation of ability, whether or not significant training takes place. Even if only on further contemplation of the Force and more time exploring your power. Besides, Sidious may not have been fencing or fighting but I doubt he sat idle. Whether he was meditating on the darkside or sharpening his abilities less overtly I find it likely he pursued methods of improvement during his Chancellorship.
