Although i'm not a huge scratch dj follower, and i've never seen Mike perform(though i've heard him), here's my opinion: Mike, and q-bert, and a-trak and all those guys will most probably come out on top when it comes to sheer speed and dexterity. Where Koala shines is in originality and overall interesting material and mixing, rather than in lightning speed scratching, which tends to get REALLY boring after awhile. Consequently, i've thoroughly enjoyed every Kid Koala performance i've seen, whereas i've become bored towards the end of other scratchmasters' shows.
