I'd say Depa takes the duel and perhaps the all-out, really, unless someone can provide with an instance where Jaina demonstrated swordsmanship superior to that of Mace Windu.

Depa's saber skills surpassed those of Mace Windu on Nar Shadaa (mentioned in Shatterpoint). She was a Jedi Master, and she was empowered by the Dark Side. Jaina might have a chance all out, b/c of her Mandalore training (and being the 'sword of the jedi') but Depa takes saber only and force only combat.
Except Mace didn't out duel her. She stabbed him, slashed him across the chest, pushed him back because he'd lost the will to fight, and then tried to kill herself.
I never said Depa could defeat Mace, I said she was a better duelist. Which, by Mace's own volition, she is.
I think you are misunderstanding me. While mace may not have gotten a bunch of hits on Depa, he demonstrated more saber fighting abilities than her when you factor in all the injuries and circumstances.

Way to not see the circumstances in Depa's case either. She admitted that she was basically exhausted, having been fighting the war for months, and her psyche was screwed. She was mentally and physically exhausted.
Mace's "problems" weren't even close. What he'd experienced for a few weeks, Depa had been through for months. The physical effects were catastrophic, to make no mention of the fact that she completely lost her mind.
Really? Were Depa's guts dripping out of a hole in her stomach? Had Depa just been beaten unconscious by Kar Vastor? Was Depa too afraid to use Vaapad? Was Depa facing someone who grew stronger due to the bonds between Vastor and his akk guards? Was Depa refusing to go on the offensive?
