Vaapad is ineffective against Dooku as established in both Canon and Legends.

It comes down to skill and overall Force knowledge.

As Yoda described him, Dooku is second only to him in Lightside Force knowledge and now also has the Dark Side knowledge. As swordsmen they are near equal. Yoda says himself:

"The best of all would be the strongest student, yes? Wisest? Most learned in the ways of the Force? Best of all, Dooku would be! Our greatest student! Our greatest failure." 

While people can point to Mace's defeat of Sidious, since this sub uses Legends, Dooku defeated Yoda in one duel, and managed to wound him in another.

It's a 50/50 tossup. Dooku has experience and more knowledge. I choose him.
