I don't really know much about Bane, or Hoth actually, but I read the information given in one of the inside flaps, and it's stated that:
Once the Sith order teemed with followers. But their rivalries divided them in endless battles for supremacy. Until one dark lord at last united the Sith in the quest to enslave the galaxy–and exterminate the Jedi. Yet it would fall to another, far more powerful than the entire Brotherhood of Darkness, to ultimately realize the full potential of the Sith, and wield the awesome power of the dark side as never before.
So if what I bolded is referring to Bane (which I guessed given the actual book's based on the man), I'd be willing to bet that he was extremely powerful, if he really was far more powerful than the entire brotherhood of darkness, which from what I understand is an entire order of sith. I highly doubt that any one person from that particular era would be able to defeat someone that powerful in comparison, so I'd place my bet on bane most likely winning this based on my info.
Question: is the book worth reading at all?

I'd say bane wins all of them, but not easily. There's really not enough info on Hoth to say, though, we've only ever seen him use a saber in PoD, and Sith Warriors are charging at him, trying to take him down by numbers, and he easily slices them down and a pile of dead warriors is around him.
Not much about Lord Hoth is said in POD, aside from him being a very good Military General.
He beats one or two lowly and foolish fighters, but that is about it.
Bane kicks a lot of ass, but
1) Is beating Kas'im at one point, and despite being surprised by his change of tactics, defends well enough - Kas'im does not even succeed in injuring his opponent (no limbs lost here).
2) Beats Kas'im with the force.
Bane learned from Revan and had tremendous raw power.
I think that it is safe to say that Bane wins on the first two points.
As for the 3rd option, I do not think that it would come to that. It would be a bit undignified for the pair of them.
