Based on inference, I'd say that Plagueis's primary form is Niman, while he does maintain expertise in Soresu. Niman doesn't really have and weaknesses for Tyranus to exploit with Makashi. Plagueis is more skilled with a blade than most give him credit for.
Tyranus is arguably the more technically skilled of the two, however Plagueis isn't completely outmatched in this guard, and boasts numerous physical advantages (ie speed, strength, endurance, ability to take injury, pain threshold etc.). I say Darth Plagueis takes this one.

Plagueis also fought off hundreds of Kursid warriors with a wooden staff alongside Sidious.

Still I feel there's more of a disparity between their respective physical capabilities than there is between their technical skill.

I don't think Niman is Plagueis' form. Considering that both Sidious and Maul favored Juyo I'd imagine that was his form of choice. I also think that like his apprentice he maintained expertise in all 7 forms.
Yeah. But Plagueis doesn't suffer for it. That guy he fought loved lightsaber combat and was even better at it than Plagueis was but Plagueis still managed to beat him by going into a kind of zen trance. TBH, Plagueis is stronger than Dooku is and likely faster. He's arguably as skilled and if not he can still make up for that easily. He'd beat Dooku imo.
Faster than the same Dooku who casually dodged a TK from Kenobi and Skywalker...eh you'd be hard pressed to prove that. Nor does he really have a better strength feat of blocking both Kenobi and Skywalker's blades with one hand.
I dunno about as skilled. Dooku's knowledge of the 7 forms is really extensive.
Cipher 9 has dodged TK. Its not that fast. Plagueis could move so fast he was a mere blur to a droid with enhanced visions photo-recepters. He's also punched through armored torsos, while grievously wounded. That's better than blocking Anakin and Kenobi in my books.
His knowledge is broad, but he only uses Makashi extensively. Plagueis is a master of all forms.
Uh context? And yeah it is. Only other person who did it was Grievous up to this point and he's fast enough that normal beings eyes cannot track his motion. I don't think so, Skywalker could very easily punch through armored torsos with his metal arm.
I don't really think so. Her legs were still parallel with the dude who got hit. So either it was a small and rather pathetic TK targeted at one person.
I mean Kenobi can also bend durasteel with his bare hands. Skywalker is way stronger than him.
No I don't think so. Also that would still imply a great deal of knowledge.
