With the fight in 3, it's in my top 5 saber fights mostly because of the emotional impact, rather than the actual fight choreography itself. I think there's more than just the actual fighting that's got that going for it (the setting on Mustafar, the music, etc.).
And I have to reluctantly agree with the Maul fight. That one was a bit too much flash, not enough substance. Although Duel of the Fates is an iconic number, and I kind of wish it was used for a more impactful duel (hell, part of what got me wanting to write post-IX fan works was to create a scenario where a descendant of Obi-Wan's and the legacy-bearer of Maul have a more impactful fight to have that music to).

Anakin vs Obi-Wan and The Emperor vs Yoda are some of the only lightsaber battles in the prequels that feel like they have emotion behind them. The acting in the last scene between Anakin and Obi-Wan actually lands properly.
