The Kett seem technologically inferior to the Milky Way species, so they're definitively out of this race. The Protheans were close to unlocking the secrets of the Mass Relays, a piece of techonology the Reapers basically invented, so the Reapers are squarely in the lead in that match up.
The question is the Jardaan however. How do they stack up to the Reapers? They're both incredibly advanced no doubt, but it's worth noting that their intentions are vastly different. The Reapers view themselves as an apex of technology and philosophy, and seem fairly happy with where they are. They've stagnated, although that doesn't really diminish their technological level.
I imagine the Reapers and the Jardaan have fields in which they surpass each other. The Reapers probably aren't that great at terraforming like the Jardaan, but seeing how the Jardaan had to retreat from their terraforming network I imagine they aren't quite as well decked out for military confrontations even with their Architects flying around.
Going with the Reapers on this one, as the Remnant are still a pretty big unknown.

Kind of hard to judge how advanced they are, some are more military advanced than others, and so on. I went with the Remnant though because of the tech they use to change planets, basically physics, seem incredibly technologically advanced.

Is this a joke thread? I can argue that the most advanced species so far isn't even in the poll.

Anothering worrying thing to consider - How technologically advanced was who, or what, made the Remnant leg it? There's a terrifying force out there, one capable of rendering entire clusters almost unliveable in a single strike using something like the Scourge.

We haven't seen enough of the Jardaan to assert that. But they seem like the antithesis of the Reapers. They create life and can terraform entire planets. I can't recall the Reapers ever creating life. Closest would be when they alter species, but that isn't the same thing.

The reapers were not created to create life, they were created to assimilate life to preserve a record and stop organic life from advancing far enough to destroy itself with synthetics. The reapers were merely tools the giant squid dudes created.

Of all time?
Leviathans, though by the time Shepard meets them they're a post-apocalyptic civilization.

I was comparing feats.

It has to be the Reapers. They were written to be virtually infallible. The fact that they died to a giant ray gun is besides the point.

The Reapers may be the most powerful, but I wouldn't say they're the most advanced. The Leviathans probably hold that title, considering the Catalyst merely used their technology to subjugate other species. That doesn't mean that the Reapers couldn't surpass their creators, they simply are (as the Catalyst stated) following their directive, so they didn't develop technology beyond their purpose. As the game itself stated, Shepard's coalition didn't want to use Leviathans's artifacts too much for fear that the Reapers could develop a countermeasure.

Probably either the guy who made the scourge to fight against the Jaardan or the Reapers.

If the Jardaan are anything like the Forerunners from Halo, then they're ahead of everyone by light years...

The only thing the Kett have an edge in is genetics. Their other tech isn't even on par. The MW races would wipe the floor with them.

Going with the Reapers on this one, as the Remnant are still a pretty big unknown. The Kett are partially technology superior to anything we've seen when it comes to genetics and those areas. Where they fall behind the Milkey way races is in weapons and vehicles. The way I see it, the Kett haven't needed to do major weapons and space shuttle R&D because they just convert species to them and move on. However humans are squishy and weak compared to practically every aliens race, so we have made up for it through extensive R&D in technology and weapons to give us the capability to match the strength and durability other races have naturally.

Where they fall behind the Milkey way races is in weapons and vehicles. That's true! They have an extreme focus on genetics and biology. On an overall level I would still consider them less advanced though, partially because of the reasons you mention like weapons, vehicles, as well as their clear lack of understanding of biotics, which in turn means they are likely have alternative technology to the "mass effect" for transportation and well... Every aspect of technology. Their tech is different for sure. It's difficult to compare with accuracy, so I guess it's a matter of perspective and opinion thus far.
