Nihilus.

y tho?

It comes down to this: does Krayt have drain defence? 

If no : he loses
If yes : he crushes 

It is likely Krayt has Ulic's Holocron - which contains the knowledge needed to counter drain. The whereabouts of which isn't exactly well kept a secret. 
It's also fair he had a motive to study this technique, in order to maintain an edge over his acolytes. 

So Krayt wins, for now.

Why do you assume Nihilus' drain is an all-or-nothing ability? Even if Krayt didn't know a defense, who says he would get killed instantly?

Well as a preliminary salvo:

Nihilus hasn't drained anyone noteworthy in a fight. Nobody anywhere near Krayt's level. Krayt has. Abeloth.

Considering the size of her reserves and how badly weakened she was from it, Krayt must have drained her to the extent had she been a mortal Force user, even a pretty high tier one, she'd be wormfood.

So by feats, Krayt wins a drain battle. After that he wins everything else.

Also gonna leave this here.

Even a telekinesis contest?

I actually am not sure on this issue personally tbh.

I never considered that actually. 

If Krayt fights drain with his own drain, he wins also based on that feat. 

So I guess Krayt just has this in the bag all round.

Nihilus TK is rather impressive. His Ravager feats are nice.

Krayt handily.

Krayt

Nihilus could win or lose tbh. I have no concrete opinions on him barring the fact that he's exceptionally powerful.

Darth Nihilus wins because he has far better feats.

Krayt.

Krayt destroys the Lord of Hunger.

I’d split it, tbh. Nihilus’ drain is powerful, but his TK is just ridiculous. Ripping ships out of Malachor’s surface when they’re buried kilometers deep, and holding together said ship while fighting off Meetra Surik, Visas Marr, and Canderous Ordo is extremely impressive.
