Not sure what you mean by "counting his disability", the way I see it Ukitake would defeat Byakuya if he was feeling well that day, and he'd loose if his illnes got the better of him. You can't say that he's lvl 5 on a good day, and lvl 1 on a bad day, so therefore he's lvl 3 on average.

I'm not sure about Reiatsu levels, but when Kyoraku and Ukitake fought Yamamoto in the SS arc, Yama basically said that of all the students he'd had they were the best of the best, and that says something about Ukitake's ability. (Btw. isn't giving Kubos to your own posts a bit like patting yourself on the back?) ^^
