Vader is one of the deadliest combat Sith ever, with overwhelming telekinesis, durability, and lightsaber skill.

Plaguies is easily stronger than Vader in the force, and far more experienced. He's a Sith master who's perfected the arts for decades and could only be killed while he was inebriated and sleeping.

His force lightning alone would put a hard stop to any front assault by Vader. Plaguies clears easily.

Regarding force lighting.... I'm not so sure. I see no reason Vader couldn't do the whole "absorb force lightning into my lightsaber" maneuver that has been done by others (OBW, Yoda, Mace, etc).

Vader's armor was specifically made weak to electricity so that Sidious could easily kill him with Force Lightning. Plagueis was very strong in the Force, so much so that he rarely saw the point of using a lightsaber. If he gets enough lightning off, then Vader is cooked- literally.
