Speaking about who's more powerful is meaningless imo in some kind of situations, this is one of them. Even if someone is weaker he can always defeat the stronger one by catching him off guard or if he has an advantage or something like that, that happens in lots of situations, either in anime or in real-life. That's what happened with Byakuya. Byakuya went through some character development in SS arc, and it continued during the next 2 arcs. not to mention the filler arcs. He developed a soft-point for Rukia, which eventually became his weak-point. The Quincy likely did some researches and studied the Shinigami before attacking, I mean no one would enter a war or do a raid without studying the situation and his chances of winning, or do some counter-measures. They obviously did and that appeared with driving Ichigo to HM and the Bankai stealing, who knows what's coming next.
I think Kubo is trying to make the Quincy look like some unbeatable group who are too strong they can annihilate Soul Society, but in fact if they can be defeated by Bankai then they're at the level of the Espada, there might also be strong guys and weak ones too, and their leader is at Aizen's and Yama-ji's level.
How did they get the information on the bankais?? Is there another traitor in the SS??I don't think they gathered information about all the Bankais, and I doubt there's some kind of a traitor in SS. When that first Quincy attacked Ichigo he didn't know his Bankai, he was surprised when he noticed he couldn't steal it. Also we don't know who they really are till now, they might've been Shinigami or at least one of them was, their leader namely. We can't really say or guess anything about these guys until another couple of hints are revealed.
