Laxus proved himself this arc. Jellal will either wake up and fight against Neinhart, or will play a bigger role later if he doesn't. It be unfair to compare Tartaros Jellal to Current Laxus. So this comparison will be from before the time skip.
Comparing Jellal and Laxus speed is hard. Jellal's meteor magic is a smooth yet angry, violent and nimble speed all at the same time. Very flashy with with golden light trailing his movements, and there's a sound that goes with it.
Laxus speed when turned to lightning is fast! It's almost like Mest's teleport. Against Tempesta, it's as if he disappeared and just appeared behind Tempesta twice. Just like after the phantom arc when Erza was arguing with him, then Natsu got mad at how Laxus was talking trash about the guild and blaming Lucy. Natsu tried to attack him, but Laxus turned to lightning and moved as if it's teleport. Against Raven Tail, Laxus didn't turn to lightning, but got to Obra so fast before he could take away Laxus power. It's not as flashy, does not leave much of a trail of lightning and doesn't make much noise. It not op to turn to lightning as both Gajeel and Rogue can turn to shadow. Don't hold your breath for Natsu to become actual fire or Wendy to become wind. She'd be invisible. Fighting shadows would be difficult during the night where they can't be seen.
Jellal can attack while using meteor, but it's never been strong enough to finish anyone. He did knock Racer down with it, but with that kind of speed, I'm guessing he's losing a bit of power. He hit Natsu many times with it and they were more like jabs. It wasn't enough to finish or badly hurt Natsu, but did wear Natsu down a bit. Against Jura, Jellal knocked him off balance with it, but that wasn't very damaging. Once meteor is activated, Jellal can fly with great agility and is nimble about it. Using meteor defensively to avoid or dodge attacks can be effective.
Laxus can surprise attack anyone. That might have been the case with what he did to Wahl, getting behind him at hitting Wahl's head. He's not the type to go sneaking and hiding behind buildings to get the jump on others. Plus Laxus has great response time when the opposition tries to counter.
In an actual fight both would probably have the skills and speed to defend or counter each other. Speed is important, but the faster one isn't always the strongest. Mest moves the fastest, but has pretty much no known attack power. Laxus dodged and attacked Jura's earth magic. Jura made earth walls to shield against lightning, and both canceled each other out. Lightning destroyed the walls, but didn't continue on. Jellal needs time for grand chariot, which has due to his speed.
Jellal can attack at close range, but his best attacks don't require him to be close because his spells come from the sky. Great range fighter. Laxus is very powerful, being able to blow things up from range, but he beats the crap out of others. You don't leave a fight against Laxus without getting punched or kicked.
After making this post, I'm now thinking a flash of lightning is faster than meteor. But both have their advantages, and speed alone doesn't win fights; otherwise Racer and Mest would be one of the strongest, which they are not.
