I like the Nyriss wank. She has the hype/implications to support it.
She's just plain better, simple and not really debatable.
Her mastering the depths of Sith sorcery, and achieving ROT Bane tier Force lightning casually, which took a heavy physical toll on her body. Yet still fighting with all the strength and ferocity of a Sith warrior in her prime, such as to make one of the greatest warriors in the Empire, Lord Scourge, look like fodder, is incredible.
Nyriss is one of the most powerful Dark Council members we've seen and her tenure of twenty years if one of the longest we've ever seen in all of SWTOR media, she unlike countless generations of Sith Lords after her actually impressed Scourge greatly.
Her sorcery knowledge is vastly greater than Dooku's:
"Scourge didn’t know if that was true, but he knew that Nyriss had gained her place in the Dark Council through her knowledge and understanding of things he could never hope to fully grasp."
―Star Wars The Old Republic: Revan
"Darth Nyriss was well known for her proficiency in the ancient arts of Sith Sorcery."
―Star Wars The Old Republic: Revan
"A lifetime spent delving into the ancient secrets of Sith sorcery had given her one of the highest positions in the Empire."
―Star Wars The Old Republic: Revan
Her accumulative knowledge of ancient Sith sorcery spanned a lifetime and was enough to make her one of the three most tenured Sith on the Dark Council, yet she was still far greater than Xedrix, one of her seniors.
Her feats of lightning are so much more stronger than Dooku's that even a nexus isn't serving to make up for the disparity.
Dooku would take sabers but Nyriss is clearly more masterful and powerful.

Dooku has comparable feats, is a tier up on Revan with Sabers but a tier down with force powers. I'm not saying Dooku stomps Revan or anything just that Dooku is more versatile
Flinging away Kenobi doesn't compare to ragdolling Marr, Shan, Beniko, and friends, before incapacitating them into spinning whirlwinds.
He's also a better duelist, but he won't even have to pull out a lightsaber to utterly destroy Dooku in seconds.
