The fact that Anakin was born with the highest known midi-chlorian count in galactic history and was considered to be the Chosen One leads to various conclusions about his Force potential and power. During his lifetime he did not achieve his full potential due to his destiny as a tragic hero, but before his fall to the dark side, although extremely young and having less than perfect training (due to his late age joining the Order), Anakin was one of the most powerful living Jedi. If he had reached his full potential, he would have become the most powerful being in both Jedi and Sith history.

Anakin’s unprecedented midi-chlorian count made him one of the most powerful members of the Jedi Order; however, it also made Anakin arrogant. When he came to the Jedi Temple at the age of nine, he began to develop at a much faster and accelerated pace than his fellow Padawans, further feeding his pride and self-importance. He also had the ability to use the Force to asphyxiate people, a sign of his burgeoning dark side proclivities.

Darth Vader also seemed to favor the Force choke ability, as he demonstrated it numerous times throughout his life.

Vader also appeared to have great physical strength, able to lift a grown man by the throat with one hand, and picking up the Emperor and hurling him to his death. Whether these feats result from his use of the Force or from the power of his cybernetic limbs is unknown. However, it seems most likely to be a result of his mechanical appendages, as when he choked Obi-Wan in their battle on Mustafar.

Tie.

The comic book version of Doom stomps Vader. His technology, mind, and firepower are simply too much for the Sith to handle. It’s dubious that Vader’s force choke (a TK technique) would crush Doom’s armor and I doubt his lightsaber would penetrate Doom’s forcefields (which held up to Galactus’s collision with the Beyonder during Secret Wars).
