As for it being inferior, the person who started that specific thread was asking for 'the most realistic' mod. In that context, GW is inferior to RUb and NYGM. If the context related to playability, GW might indeed be superior, but that wasn't the context of that thread.

Thats why I suggested the install version I gave him. If installed in that order he will get the most realistic CURRENT version of SH3 that I believe is possible.
SHIII <-- Base game (of course)
1.4b Patch <-- needed for many reasons as we know
GW <-- Adds more content than god
GW 1.1 patch <-- Still adds more content than god
NYGM <-- adds the first element of base REALISIM (has RUB built in AFAIK)
NYGM Unified GW campain. <-- adds content and REALISIM
DG-AA_Destabilized_v1.02 <-- fix's a REALISIM issue between GW and NYGM (but not required if ppl so desire)
So why cant he have both, no reason at all, or are you implying that to be a realisim player 1 must forgo extra content ?? As I said that would give him the level of realisim he was after and a BIG boost to game content (eye candy, medium realisim boost an so forth). Just because some1 wants to head down the realisim path does not mean that they cant have a version of SH3 with all the bells an whistles on. Since all the realisim bits are installed last He gets as hardcore realisim as it can be. So where is the problem?
Oh and since NYGM has RUB built in (modified I admit) why limit him to just RUB. Therefore, I still believe that with the above mods RUB is indeed outdated AT THE MOMENT. Now its up to you to surpass all the above. Good luck.
PS: just a suggestion, if you do another RUB, make it as seemless with the above mentioned mods as much as possible, because ppl will only ask you, a)is it compatible with XXXX, b)can you combine with XXXX.
