They are pretty underrated. I think if they can control the pacing of a battle than they can win pretty easily. But if they face a fast opponent it can be tough. Underrated though to say the least!
I think that award goes to the Hyuga, but I can certainly the Aburame don't get enough respect either. Torune was a monster and Shino is vastly underestimated.
If shino could get torune's bugs and use his beetles as carriers for those microscopic bastards, he'd be unstoppable, honestly were it not for plot I'm pretty sure that would have happened.
