Toshiro wins against opponents his sword has an advantage of, he wouldn't have beat Hallibel if he didn't have an Ice sword (I highly doubt he could have beaten Ulquiorra or even Nnoitra), and he's completely reliant on his sword. No Kido, no particular Shunpo excellence or exceptional strategy, just his bankai, which is why he's getting his ass nailed to the wall this time around.

Sui Feng hasn't won a fight in ages. In fact, has she won a fight against a major opponent? For a woman who is supposedly tough and smart she gets bested by everyone. To be fair, Barragan is a tough opponent for anyone, but it's not like Sui Feng has demonstrated exceptional ability or had a major win of any kind. And unlike Unohana or Ukitake she isn't hailed as this old master of any kind either. She's over confidant, and she suffers because of it. Her sword is decent but against Blut Vene it doesn't seem to work the best. Unlike Toshiro, she's constantly paired against people she doesn't have an advantage over.

In the current Gotei the only people they may be stronger than would be Komamura and possibly Rose. And even Komamura could match the two if his secret technique is any good.

As for boring, both of them are sticks in the mud. Grim faced, somewhat cocky, rule followers. Like Byakuya but at least Byakuya has had story development and plot weaknesses.

I can't be wrong, since it's my opinion anyway.
