All out

I'm honestly inclined to say Vader.

It's really not a debate.

Sidious still seems more powerful force wise to me but I wouldn't be surprised at all if Vader was a superior duelist.

Total Warrior
Sidious of course

Vader beat Filoni-amped Ahsoka. Sidious's dueling feats pale in comparison.

I remember Palpatine mentioning some temple of sith in jedi order that made him more connect with the dark side in Tarkin novelization. So its reasonable for me to assume that Palpatine wasn't that powerful before the ending of ROTS

He was probably pretty close with the Force tilting so far to the Dark Side by the end of ROTS with the destruction of the Jedi Order.

Oh my bad I read RotJ Sid

I think a case can be made for putting Vader above RotS Palpatine.

But obviously ESB-era Palpatine can throttle him pretty easily.

Lord Stark
Eh I disagree. I think the biggest power jump Palpatine gets is between AOTCs and ROTS because of the war and the tilt of the Dark Side tbh. I think any version of Palpatine post Jedi Purge spanks Vader with little difficulty.

Anakin was just below Palpatine in terms of power in rots, and we know he grew stronger after the fact - couple that with Vader's superior dueling abilities, I'd say Vader beats rots Palpatine. I don't think Vader could beat any version of OT/Sequel Trilogy Palpatine though.
