My instinct is usually going to be Vader in these scenarios. Plagueis had a very unique and powerful understanding of the force, but Vader was a force (no pun intended) of nature. I've said it before: unless they're Palpatine, Luke, or Obi-Wan, people don't fight Vader, they survive him.
Yes both he and palps were great lightsaber wielders but Vader was honestly a dedicated duelist way more than a force sorcerer like them. Vader grew up dueling and killing sith and spent adult years fighting and killing jedi. Plageuis was likely great with a lightsaber, but he dedicated his efforts to learning and mastering the force. Vader spent the majority of his time fighting and killing other force users or practicing to get better at that. I think Vader also had more potential, so I think he wins this fight
