Wolverine has been stated as the best killer in the Marvel Universe, then his son Daken comes into view and takes this title. So my question is, can Laura ever be the best at what they do? Could she be more ruthless than both Logan and Daken?

She's less emotional, which makes her more dangerous.  Her mind clinically pin-points dozens of ways to kill.  And then there's the other side of her when she comes into contact with the Trigger Scent.  She's then unstoppable.

I'd say so. Laura's just less of a braggart :oP another redeeming quality! Plus she's a GIRL! Wahoo! Go X!!!!! Seriously, I love Wolverine, and I think Daken is pretty cool, but Laura can definitley give them a run for their money. It's already been proven that X-23 can out-perform Wolverine in combat, both his holographic records and in hand-to-hand combat with him (X-23 Target X TPB). Daken...they haven't had an actually fight yet (save for one panel in the Utopia fight which I don't count); but apparently there will be an X-23/Daken fight coming up in her miniseries, which I very much look forwards to. THAT will count! :oD
 
Also, I agree with xerox-kitty. The fact that she's unemotional about killing makes her much more efficient at it. She is the judge, jury and executor all rolled into one package; she is impartial and clinical, focusing on the job so there is nothing to impede her performance (whereas Daken puts a lot of mixed-up emotions into his kills...he's a psychopath....and killing is often wrapped in emotions for Wolverine too, not psychopathic but more honor based/etc, depending on situation). And the Trigger scent DOES put her into a rage that I doubt Wolverine could compete with. In X-force, she routed trigger scent through the sprinkler system, and even with only one arm and two , still bleeding from having her arm cut off, she took out an entire base of armed soldiers. The fact that trigger scent can be washed away also means that if one knows what to do when she is in a trigger rage (like Megan, her cousin, knew to run to the shower), she can be snapped out of it, wheras Wolverine's rage just runs its course. 
 
Finally I will make a point about the fact that Laura only has Adamantium coating her claws, while Wolverine's entire skeleton is coated. Because of this it has been suggested that Laura's healing factor is faster than his, as it has been said that Logan's healing factor is taxed with constantly healing him of Adamantium poisoning. When his Adamantium was removed by Magneto, he healed faster and could sense vibrations through the ground via bone conduction. He was also more flexible. Now his bones are Adamantium coated again, and Laura's are not. By that logic, and the fact that she is cloned from his DNA, she possesses the abilities pf Wolverine without the Adamantium, giving her the edge. Her bones can break but her healing factor is very fast so that usually doesn't slow her down.
 
Whew, I am done!

@k2: You already posted a lot of what I was thinking. Lol 
I think it also might be worth noting though that when X-23 was in hand-to-hand combat with Wolverine ( in Target X) his heart wasn't exactly in it so that may have given her an advantage. 
 
If she was always in a trigger rage I think she'd definitely have a chance at being the "best at what they do".

I'm gonna withhold judgment until the inevitable female clone of Sabretooth shows up to fight her. It's only a matter of time.

" @k2: While her healing-factor may be better due to a lack of adamantium, she is most likely still somewhat slower at healing than Wolverine and Daken, since they have had time to mature their healing-factors over the years, though I guess that is a fairly trivial thing. I do recall an istance in New X-men when Laura nearly died after fighting Nimrod and she had to be rushed to an infirmary, so maybe I'm just basing my opinion on that particular instance. "

The Punisher is a better killer than any of them.

Didn't he get killed by Daken at one point recently? "

That doesn't make him a worse killer. Besides, he was surrounded by H.A.M.M.E.R. at the time. "

In a nutshell :) "

Now...no one considered the fact that Laura is a girl. What happens if she's having PMS when either fight goes down? I'd say neither male would stand a chance :oP lolol! She'd just glare at them and they'd wither away to nothing...forget fighting! >,> "

Yet a little ten year old girl can knock him out? "
