I tend to go with power more than Speed for most Pokémon. Not the best of comparisons, but for example, after testing Modest Charizard-Mega-Y to Timid Charizard-Mega-Y, I found that the Modest nature is needed to OHKO as opposed to Timid nature usually leaving the opponent in red HP.

Agreed. What's your opinion on Gengar vs Alakazam?

I've never used Gengar competitively, so hard say. Without mega evolving, I guess I'd assume Alakazam is better because it can use Life Orb without recoil and isn't susceptible to Stealth Rock, and is also faster. But again, I've never used Gengar so my answer isn't as reliable as someone like Itachi's. Mega-wise Gengar is presumably better on account of being banned to Ubers while Mega-Alakazam is still in OU.

I think OU is too competitive in speed to not let it be timid. It's too fragile otherwise. You can throw a lifeorb on to make up for the lost damage.

I prefer Alakazam @ focus sash over gengar. It's faster, + a great revenge killer. Also rocks won't break its sash.

Regular alakazam is better
But as far as megas are concerned, mega gengar can lock the opponents pokemon plus can be a big troll hence ubers
