i dont think there is any doubt that melkor is the greatest of all the valar, especially in the beginning. tulkas is pretty much a loud mouth, he talks a lot but doesnt do anything w/o the other valar. one on one melkor would crush tulkas. manwe would be the closest in power to melkor. but by the end of the third age, none of the valar were very great. they did not take an active role in removing sauron from a position of power. i think all of them were pretty pitiful.
