Perhaps the most fair system for ranking players is to look at their league results. The win% after a minimum number of leagues would be one of the best indicators of who is an ace.
I say this because unlike regular games, in a league, you have to play both sides and every plane in the scenario. Plus, even if its a 1 on 1 league or multi-player you still are competing against 7 other players so the omly real advantage you could have would be playing in a league against all rookies.
In regular games you can play only better planes in unbalanced scenarios and make your "stats" look good.
Therefore, look to the leagues for the most fair ranking system.

That's not a bad idea in principle, but there are several potentially practical problems: 1)league stat's are not comprehensive, but only maintained for the past year or so I think, so not a complete history of player's participation. 2) Not all players participate in leagues, or the same kinds of leagues, so rankings based on that may not be so valid. 3) league data available is limited to placing and ave. score, so there's not much to make comparisons on there. 4) and perhaps most irksome, some league stat's have been broken for ages with no sign of a fix in sight, so again, comparisons based on incomplete data is not reliable/valid.
