I don't think you can judge a person's skill based on WHO he beat... Chuck Liddell is a great fighter and he continuously beats Tito Ortiz who also is a great fighter... but Chuck has also been knocked out by no name fighters... Justifys nothing.
Maul was able to take on both Obi wan and Qui Gon... yes he was killed by a padawan but if Maul wasn't so cocky in that scene he would have wasted him right there. He had him beat, his own cockyness got him killed (which was a really lame way to end a great sith in that movie hahaha).
I can agree, Vader would most certainly give Maul a hard time with the force, but Maul isn't useless with it either... I think he has a strong enough knowledge in it to not allow himself to simply get choked to death...Vader was becoming weaker, he was loosing his hatred... Maul was very focused. And we all know Maul was significantly superior with a lightsaber. I think the only force thing a sith can use against another sith/jedi effectively is force lightning... which Vader can't do (boohoo mechanical arms) haha.
So it also depends on when they fight. Maul was still only an apprentice himself... yet he killed a master. Maul was powerful and had much to learn. Given the same amount of time Vader had to become as powerful as he was... I think Maul would crush him.
The idea itself is kind of silly but there are so many things that people can take into consideration.
