I don't think your going to get a difinitive ranking of magic as it ebbs and flows based on situations and what powers are needed for a situation. Take Harry Potter for example; certain people were said to be good at Charms, others Transfiguation, others Potions. But those are all different fields, so how do you say who the best witch or wizard is? Furthermore, Lockhart sucked at everything but Memory Spells, and so he was able to become really sucsessful by letting other people do the work, wipe their memories, and take the credit. And the Death Eaters and Voldemort are incredibly powerful, easily doing the Unforgivable Curses that most wizards and witches wouldn't be able to do, because of the dark nature of the curses, but on the flipside, none of the Death Eaters or Voldemort can perform a Patronus Charm, that a bunch of 5th year wizards and witches were able to learn. Just something to think about.
