As you said, they are equally matched and I'm going to leave it at that. We could go on and on about this (but I'd rather not). He made quicksand in the episode "The King of Omashu" when he battled Aang.

In my opinion, it doesn't matter at what age you mastered it. It doesn't mean that a person is better because they mastered an element at a younger age. I think Azula is a much better firebender than Zuko (before learning from the dragons and before Azula went bat shit crazy). Zuko may have been second to Azula, but that doesn't mean it will always remain that way. Zuko may have became better than her eventually (had she not gone crazy). Even battling her when she was crazy and after learning from the dragons, he still couldn't beat her (he was more equal to her, IMO).
