tbh, the events of Rushima are currently hard to gouge because we really don't know whats going on right now. The best people were left to defend Cochlea, but the Rushima operation has more numbers and many of the investigators are considered very talented. There's Juuzou and his squad, Akira, the Quinx, Ui, Houji, and I assume a bunch of others unnamed investigators who are considered top tier. Then Kurona and Amon are wiled cards in all this.

On Aogiri's side, they have Tatara, Seidou, Shikorae and like with the CCG, I presume they have other very strong unnamed soldiers. From the little we've seen, it looks like the CCG has the upper hand at the moment. Juuzou and his squad have been mowing down ghouls since they arrived and Hanbee incapacitated Miza (and it sounds like Juuzou's squad gave her gang a hard time), Naki has strong loyalty among his gang but he's incompetent at strategizing, Ayato left, the Quinx seem to be doing fine as the "cleanup", Houji is blasting away ghouls and his mere presence has them scared, Torso is in hiding with Mutsuki, Noro was already killed and Eto isn't there.

On the surface, the CCG seems to be doing fine as of now while Aogiri's forces are weakening. However, I don't think that will last in the long run. This whole thing stinks of a trap and I'm also waiting for the "fruits of Kanou's labor". The thing about Aogiri is that while they have several powerful ghouls, under Eto's guidance, they get the leg up via strategy rather than sheer brute strength. I don't think this time will be any different. Strength is of course important too, but all things considering, if Aogiri comes out on top I think it'll primarily be because they out strategied the CCG. The mistake the CCG is making right now is that they think they have already taken the base by virtue of knowing where it is. They then took the fight to Aogiri's turf, which might not pan out in the long run.
