I personally think regina is more powerful than maleficent for the following reasons:

1) In the letter that Rumple wrote to Cora talking about Zelena and he says that she is the most powerful sorceress he has ever known even more powerful than cora, he says that Zelena was the only one he knew that surpasses cora (when he says "even more powerful than you") And this applies that she is more powerful than the maleficent (since rumple had already known her), and as cora = regina or regina> cora, it also implies that the regina is more powerful than maleficent

2) In the episode that the Queens of darkness join with snow and david to stop the curse, david suggests that they invade regina`s castle, but cruella speaks "if you were as smart as you are beautiful" meaning that they cant defeact regina, and maleficent doesnt Wanted to fight with regina as well as all the Queens of darkness,this indicates that she is more powerful than all of them

3) The fact that maleficent turns into a dragon means nothing, in regina magic level, she can defeat beasts like that with certain ease, otherwise maleficent would be stronger than cora and zelena if that was true, however ...

4) even advocating her unicorn  regina already defeated her with certain facility and rumple  believed that she became more powerful than  maleficent
