Good point. Even her grandparents were not Maiar.
But we can say that during her life she had many relationships to Maiar. :)
Primarily Melian, then Olorin.

Do you mean ringwraiths in general or simply their leader Witch king?

Thartom:
But the Nazgul are only the slaves of Sauron, so i think at least with his Corruption-skills the maiar could win against them.
I think the most powerful being is Sauron. He´s a maiar, one of the creators of middle-earth (or did the valar all the work alone?), and how could someone create something more powerful than himself?
Saruman, Gandalf or Durin´s Bane wouldnt be a problem for him since he´s the most powerful of the maiar.

TiberiusOgden:
Well,
I say that Galadriel.
Sauron can not stand without the One ring against the inner strength of Galadriel. In addition, she is able to read his mind and he is not.
Of course, if Sauron gets the One ring, so Lorien and Galadriel will fall. Sauron with the ring is the most powerful creature in the Middle-earth.  8-)
And Galadriel more powerful than Istari? In the Middle Earth definitely. :)
Istari have limitations. Purpose of their mission is strictly given - only to support, not to participate directly. But Galadriel has no restrictions. The greatest demonstration of power throughout the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings is when were threw down walls in Dol Guldur. And surely everyone knows who did it.  :P

I am not talking about Tom Bombadil because with him we are in the completely different dimension.  :o
He is something or someone really unique. My interpretation is that he is the most powerful being but only in his teritory, inside the borders.

Thartom:
But you say Sauron himself isnt the best, only with the ring he becomes the strongest. But the Ring is a piece of Sauron, so i would say, Sauron is the most powerful being, only without his ring of power he is weaker (and even then he´s one of the strongest).

Galadriel is strong too, yes, but in my opinion the movie-Galadriel isn´t the "true" middle-earth, it´s just PJs interpretation. In fact the whole White Council has maybe driven Sauron out of Dol Guldur, if it wasn´t part of his plan to "flee". And remember, Dol Guldur was an old ruin, not such a big fortress as Minas Morgul.

TiberiusOgden:
I've just added poll. :)
