Something I think is important to note is the differences in power of each of the character groups. The most important thing to remember is that a member of any race, with all of their powers fully unleashed, should be more or less an even match to a member of any other race with fully unleashed powers, assuming that they are both at the same rank.
This means, among other things, that the distribution of strength and reiatsu between one's stages of power vary from race to race. For example, Quincy and Advent Humans, always operate at their full capacity. This means that they are always releasing a large amount of power, and that other races have to unleash their strength to meet them.
By contrast, you could consider that a Shinigami, in sealed form, operates at a fraction of their true might. By unleashing Shikai, Shinigami bring their reiatsu to a fair portion of strength. This strength expands exponentially when they unleash Bankai, finally revealing their full might. Shinigami have graded levels of strength, though Bankai is the biggest jump in power for them.
Hollows rest somewhere between Shinigami and the human races. They normally operate with a fair portion of their strength active, but they do reserve the ability to perform a Resurreción, bringing them to close to their full strength.
All creatures reach the same areas of strength. Bear in mind, also, that these abilities grow in strength. For example, at Rank 15, a Shinigami's Bankai and a Hollow Resurreción are both power boosts of the same strength.
So remember that, even if you have access to multiple stages of power, your opponent's abilities also grow and evolve, even if they do not gain new ones.
