The idea of multiple 'levels' of the Anti Life Equation pretty much explains away all the discrepencies.
The version that Mr. Miracle and Orion had during the "Orion" series, the 'complete' Anti Life Equation, is inescapable by almost anyone or anything LIVING, or that once LIVED (that's the rub -- robots seem to be totally immune).
The version we saw in Morrison was meant more as an allegory for the despair and heartbreak that grinds us down in every day life. The Barry scene wasn't meant to show that, IMHO, the Speedforce could cleanse or overcome the Anti Life Equation, but rather the strength and purity of Barry's love for Iris, and Iris' love for Barry, could.

Nevermind, only one of them. Speed force.
Edit: No, it wasn't. The Meta-Gene Virus was used to rob metas of their powers and Wonder Woman was used as the incubator.

What makes you think Galactus could call on the Speed Force? Generally the Speed-Force is something that chooses its users, I haven't seen many cases of anyone taking or commanding the speed-force that wasn't a Speedster.

and that's only Surfer. Fallen One and Morg would be alot faster. And they only have a small portion of Galactus' Power Cosmic.

ALE in FC was the complete equation, it is explained that only small parts of the unthinkably large equation are seen or spoken in the lower dimensions of the DCU. Basically the equation that people chant is a very simplified translation.
I think the way authors interpret it varies, but FC ALE was definitely the complete equation, the entire theory proven.
