Yes, Ddraig can be placed in the Top 10. Ishibumi himself said that Ddraig and Albion would be in the Top 10 if they were unsealed.

The Issei vs Vidar thing is different. Issei dealt the coup de grace to Vidar through smarts, not raw power, so whether he can be placed in the Top 10 too is nebulous.

Once again, Samael is not stronger than Great Red and Ophis, it simply has an advantage against them. Just like how a lv 70 Glalie beating a lv 100 Dragonite in one shot with an ice attack does not make it stronger than that Dragonite. There's even bulletproof vests that can be penetrated by crossbow bolts, but that doesn't mean crossbow bolts are stronger than bullets. Bullets are still stronger, it's just a matter of affinity.
