Anne Rice's vampires are completely underestimated by those that have only the movies to judge them by. The books are much better and really give you a better picture of their powers.

Lestat was the only one made by his mentor, who was old when bitten and had himself been created by an older vampire. Armand was surprised by Lestat's speed for such a young vampire and later in the series Lestat is given the blood / powers of the original vampires, the King and Queen. At this point Lestat is the most powerful of them all and hardly taken lightly. In short, Lestat wouldn't be beaten very easily by any of the characters mentioned in this thread, if at all.
