I'd say Sauron was the most powerful, but Olorin was the most wise. In the end, Gandalf's wisdom prevailed over Sauron's brute power, so he's definitely up there amongst the greatest of the Maiar. I think you are spot on, samwise, with putting Eonwe and Ilmare at the top, with Olorin and Osse following. Also I think that Eomer is right, by putting Melian up there also. I mean, her girdle kept out a lot of nasty enemies, including Ungoliant herself.
