Personally, I think Bumi's the better earthbender.

However, in this case, facts and logic wouldn't dictate anything. We haven't seen Bumi earthbend enough, and we don't know as much about him (compared to Toph) to come up with a proper conclusion. We don't know if Bumi could sandbend, he's never had a situation where he had to sandbend (that we've seen). Although, I'm certain that he can since he turned solid groud into quicksand. I don't remember Bumi saying he's never mastered neutral jing. Bumi has no weaknesses that we know of and Toph has her blindness (although, this is what made her a prodigious earthbender, it's still a weakness). She couldn't see where Aang was anytime he wasn't rooted to the ground. We don't know what age Bumi mastered earthbending (and we're assuming it's some time after 12-rears-old). Just because Toph mastered it at an earlier age doesn't make her a better earthbender.
