I think Bulma has the slight edge, for two reasons. 1. The time machine, and 2. she was able to reverse engineer a controller for the androids in a very short time. 2 shows that not only did she understand what Gero had created, but she knew it will enough to recreate a part of it with the controller for shutdown.

Most definitely agree in every way. For me it was never a contest between Gero and Bulma it just depended on what they wanted to focus on with their abilities. Bulma didn't have a need to develop some kind of Cyborg machine to protect the earth/go on a rampage so it never came up. But she sure as heck was able to figure out the design of such a creation.

I mean, whether Jesus is real or not, he - he's had a bigger impact on the world than any of us have. And the same can be said for Bugs Bunny and - and Superman and Harry Potter. They've changed my life - changed the way I act on the earth. Doesn't that make them kind of real? They might be imaginary but, but they're more important than most of us here. And they're all gonna be around here long after we're dead. So, in a way, those things are more realer than any of us.

Bulma was able to learn how to create Time Travel while Gero didn't. If Gero did then he would have went back in time and kill Goku during the RR Army Arc.

But wouldn't that just create an alternate timeline?

For all we know, Gero simply never tried to do such a thing. But its a more impressive feat that what Gero did, indeed.

That's true. He could live on that timeline instead of his own, though.

I have a feeling that he wouldn't be satisfied with that, only with killing the same Goku who stopped the RRA that he remembered, as opposed to some alternate one.

If he could create time travel and made a new timeline then he could tell his past self about the future. He can have his past self became a cyborg and become stronger since Piccolo Daimo and Radditz would still happen.
