Most of those bassists are probably better than Myung.
Myung is very technically proficient. He is able to double Petrucci's guitarwork effectively - he has some very fast fingerwork.
But I have never heard him write anything remotely interesting - and I haven't heard any groove from him.
I'm not saying, Myung can't write interesting or groovy basslines (he probably can), but I haven't seen any yet. Even when he does, I highly doubt he could compete with Pastorius, Wooten etc.

I find Mike Portnoy to be quite a good drummer. But there are better drummers. Personally, I find Neil Peart, Danny Carey, Martin Lopez, Mike Mangini, and many jazz drummers superior to Portnoy either because they're more technical, have more interesting styles/drumlines or just have better feel.
Don't get me wrong though - Portnoy is quite skilled and from what I've heard of Dream Theater, he's improving.
