I'm not quite sure but I think Skarner is a bit faster. Can someone confirm this? Better ganks, hmm... let me say it this way: I have more success with Skarner's ganks, especially if I'm lvl 6. It depends on your playstyle. Skarner is free this week, so you may try out. If you don't have Lee, maybe ask a friend and try out on his account. However, in my opinion Skarner is stronger at teamfighting @ lategame. Hey may not dish out as much damage as Lee Sin, but he is able to protect his carry very well with a constant AoE slow + his ult is extreme versatile: it can be used to catch someone out of position, to protect your teammates from a carry or caster by disabling him (and crushing him afterwards, because you most likely will pull him near your team so everyone can easily focus him), pull an enemy to your tower, etc. You can even (but it is very hard to do) catch someone with your sting while he is charging away. I did it twice, while in one situation an Irelia wanted to jump on a low-health ally and I managed it to ult her before she reached this ally. That was really an epic win situation.
