I have two other questions: which is better- sasuke's above kcm Naruto speeds, ameno, and his dojutsu to help him cope with his/others speeds- or Naruto's speed that got tripled by having the other kurama as well spsm, and his sensing to counter surprise attacks?.. and is Naruto's bijuu spsm better than sasuke' susanoo in durability? I think they are comparable in speeds. But really, their abilities are better for different circumstances.

If Naruto can't dodge it, he has to tank it but he also has exceptional tanking. If Sasuke can't dodge it, he can use Ameno, but only a few times. Depending on what you're trying to dodge or attack, Ameno can be overkill or just the right jutsu. Similarly, some techniques are best tanked while others are horrible. IE you don't want to tank a shadowbind or a sealing jutsu or a Magnet release. But a fireball jutsu is fine.

As far as durability goes, Biju are superior. It seems to me that Susanoo has more offensive options as it can conjure various weapons or act as a medium for various techniques. Biju are mostly stuck with their Bijudama (which can be horrible overkill) and brute strength.

Naruto's powers make him more of a generalist. Sasuke's powers make him more of a specialist. Depending on circumstance, you can get better result with one or the other.
