[Star Wars] Would Anakin have been more powerful in his prime as a Jedi or Sith?

I'm aware this could come down to a debate between the light side and the dark side, but is there any way to determine if the full power of the chosen one would have been more powerful as a Jedi or a Sith?

It's two different kinds of power. Prime Anakin as a Sith would have had a terrifying amount of destructive power at his fingertips (George outright said Anakin had the potential to be twice as Palpatine), but a theoretical Prime Anakin would be a match for Sith!Anakin in containing that destruction.

The other thing is that dark siders gain a lot of power in the short term but without self-control they'll basically burn themselves out and not achieve much. A light sider on the other hand will take longer to reach their theoretical peaks, but won't burn themselves out by raging against everything they see as against them and their goals.
