Well as we all know, there are multiple kinds of "species" in Bleach verse.
You have got the Shinigami, Quincy, Hollows and Arrancar. The Arrancar are by far the most powerful of these species.
I will tell you why they are the strongest creatures.
Their Potential
This is the most powerful asset of an Arrancar. It is known that most of the Captain class Shinigami have lived for at least several hundred years, and the seniors have been here for at least a millenium. They have got all that time to train and get stronger. They also have teachers that can guide them to develop their powers.
The Arrancar have been there for less than 100 years, because 100 years ago Aizen was still experimenting on Vaizards. Some of the Espada's are 10 years at max and still able to compete with the Captain class shinigami, even though they haven't received training. And Wonderweiss was a few months old and he could compete with a vaizard lieutenant (Mashiro), and she is at least 100 years old.
Most of the Fraccion where considerably stronger than the seated officers. Of course there are fodder Arrancar, but the average Arrancar is far above the average Shinigami.
Their Abilities
I will sum up some of their abilities against the ones of the Shinigami:
Sonido=Shunpo
Pesquisa (The Shinigami can sense Reiatsu, but I believe Pesquisa has got more focus)
Hierro (The Shinigami don't have something like this)
Cero<Kido (Kido is more diverse)
Ressurecion>=Shikai/Bankai (I will explain this further on)
From the list above it seems like they are evenly matched, but I will explain why the Arrancar are most likely superior.
The Arrancar all have a Ressurecion. It is a bit like Ichigo's Bankai, mainly because it enhances speed and strength a great deal. But it can also be used in a more tactical way because when a Arrancar releases, most of their wounds are healed, and they are fresh. They can keep their Released state up as long as they like and it doesn't seem to tire them like Vaizards.
And you have the Segunda Etapa, showed by Ulquiorra. I think it is the counterpart to Bankai because Urahara once said something like that. The reason that only Ulquiorra has shown it is because he was a genius and a prodigy. I believe only Starrk had talent compareble to him butt he was lazy so he didn't train as much as Ulquiorra did. It takes a long time and a lot of effort to attain Bankai, so it's not really strange that the relatively young Arrancar haven't shown it.
And last of all, I believe that the Arrancar are able to use Kido. The Vaizards can use Hollow techniques like Cero and Sonido, so why can't the couterpart of Arrancar use Kido? The reason they haven't shown it is because there wasn't much need for it, some of them felt that they where superior so why learn an inferior technique, and they don't have an Academy in Hueco Mundo.
This is why an Arrancar is naturally stronger than a Shinigami.
VS the Quincy's
The Arrancar are Hollow in their core and Quincy's are very weak to Hollows. A simple bite from a hollow can kill a Quincy. The reason that the Quincy could take over Hueco Mundo is because the Vandenreich has order, extremely powerful fighters and the strongest Arrancar/Hollow in Hueco Mundo was Halibel, and she isn't exactly strong.
VS Hollows
Well, the Arrancar are further evolved Hollows so that speaks for itself.
So what do you guys think about this? Do you agree or do you think that the Quincy/Shinigami are superior, and more importantly, why do you think that?
