[the 8th Espada was stronger than 9th, but only by one place]

You seem to be assuming that the places are equally spaced out, which is faulty. There aren't set levels between the rankings, rather they are just ordered according to strength, from strongest (at 1st) up. It seems that there was quite a gap in power between Aaroniero and Szayel.

And please don't forget that the fact that Rukia killed Aaroniero had a lot to do with pure luck. Not to belittle her poise and sacrifice towards the end there, but if his vital point hadn't been in range of her zanpakotō, Rukia would have been toast. Honestly, she basically was toast anyway, but as things turned out she at least managed to take him with her.

[Before that, even, it was said that she could have easily been fukutaichou, like Renji, if Byakuya hadn't put in a request that she shouldn't be.]

Not quite. It was never stated that she had vice-captain-level abilities, but those equal to a seated officer. That's a lot more vague, granted, but in my mind I could see her being anywhere from 5th seat up, but she could be as low as 20th. (For reference, Hanatarō is a 7th seat.) We don't know. (Technically, yeah she could have had vice-captain-level abilities, but honestly I doubt she's there yet.)

I get that you like Rukia. I like her a lot too. I just don't think you should twist facts in order to make her look better than she really is. I like her because of her personality and inner strength, not because she's the bestest at anything ever. Because, you know. She isn't. And that's okay. Really.
