Scale of 1 - 10, how do the Chechens compare to AQ?
It seems as if they pull of smaller operations, but with much greater frequency and with consistency in their "success" in furthering terror.

I suspect that AQ may have Chechen members. There are rumored to be Chechens in Iraq now.
By and large, they are much better trained and experienced in combat operations. They have also struck with WMD (radiological), mass casualties (Moscow theater), etc. in the heart of Russia itself.
If I were Russian, I would be more concerned with the Chechens than AQ.
