At full chakra capacity, yes I do. Akatsuki seems to believe that he has as much chakra as the other Bijuu combined.
Based on their most powerful shown Menacing Balls though, I think they are pretty close. Then again, Kyuubi has shown insane durability, whereas Hachibi tends to get cut easily, relatively speaking.

I'd think Shukaku's variety of powers there way more than balance out what Gaara brings to the table (in terms of unique abilities, how much does he have? He can use seals in his sand, and more clever trickery, but Shukaku has a lot).While an S-rank did put him down, we don't know how much help was involved. At minimum there was probably a sealing team.
Gaara? He has Auto-defense, trickery & intelligence, Sand seals, Sand sensing, Third Eye, mini-transformations (albeit, he does not use them anymore), Sand clones, Sand armor, Sand Levitation, and he is a smaller target. Shukaku seems to be just a 'overwhelm them with lots of Sand' type of guy, with powerful waves, large constructs like Sand Arms, or large crushing constructs. (an area Gaara seems to have matched him)
Probably just a sealing team as back-up. Doubt they were needed since Shukaku went back inside Gaara, and since the 4th says he stopped it.

Uh, on Kushina's chakra, you do realize it was never said to weaken Kyuubi or the like, right? It was just supposed to make her a really strong host.It's not like Wood jutsu, it's not an anti-biju power, the way they talk about it it's more like the same compatibility that Gaara and Bee have. Kushina shouldn't really be on the weakness list.
This is pretty much moot since I know this, and since I don't think Kushina's chakra would apply to Kyuubi in either scenario. I went for the 'Kushina can pwn Kyuubi due to her chakra' scenario since that is what DDM used.
