I don't believe either can be deemed more skilled than another. Aang certainly had a far greater test as the Avatar, but Roku showed impressive skill as well; subduing Fire Lord Sozin in seconds.

@ Torresfa, Roku is not any less of an Avatar because he spared Sozin's life. He simply believed, like Aang, that there were ways to deal with people besides killing them, and that IMO makes Roku of strong character, even if in hindsight killing him was the better option. All Avatars made mistakes, including Kyoshi and Yangchen.
