until theres 100% proof that Sidious didn't throw the fight against Mace then he's useless in this debate. Dooku is shit scared of Sidious at all time in TCW and for good reason; he knows he's dead if he crosses the master... as for Vader, we all saw what happens to his suit when he gets zapped so he's pretty much a non factor

even Yodas lightsaber wasnt capable of holding off Sidious' lightning at full strength... I doubt Vader could do any better
When Yoda was standing on the edge of a pod and didn't want to give up his position.. yeah.
Mace Windu took all Palpatine's Lightning with his Saber. Vader > Mace in the Force.

Not quite sure. Dooku wouldn't dare to cross his saber with Sidious' in a single duel. But it should be noted, that he was searching for an aprentice. First Kenobi, but he could lie there though... Then Savage, and Dooku noted, that when Savage will become as strong as Maul was, they will overthrow Sidious.
And Dooku's fear wasn't that great, when he challanged Sidious' equal, Yoda.
Still less fearfull, then Vader, who actually could chose to fight Sidious with superior combatants on his side then Savage. Luke in ROTJ could possibly help him, Starkiller beged him to use his help.
Anyway, either Dooku or Vader would be humiliated by Sidious at the end of combat, just like Maul was. But not in 2v1 fight. I don't believe, that Dooku's guard in the Force would be as easy to broke as it was in that scene from TW S6. Actually, I don't believe, that his guard was rised at that point. And Vader would be a non-facor only in a Force fight, wihtout sabers. As long as he has his saber in his hand, he will be able to defend himself against Sidious FL. Even asuming, that Sidious will be able to stomp Dooku with TK, that would leave him open for Vader's attack, which might end a fight. Vader will catch him, he will be force to release Dooku. And then he will be killed.
