What Kind of Menos Were the Espada?

well, aren't his powers limited when he's going into the human world?
the shinigami's powers are greatly reduced when they reach out (they have only 1/5 of their powers), maybe hollows are the same?

No, hollows do not feel the need to preserve the balance of the natural world, unlike the shinigami, and thus they have no limiters.

That's not what he meant... he meant that being on Earth alone already limits their powers, just like Shinigamis are stronger in Soul Society. That's why Chad became stronger in Hueco Mundo, since his powers are of Hollow nature.

Even so it's not important, since Shinigamis and Hollows suffer from the same thing.

Anyways, there's nothing strange about Ichigo having a higher reiatsu than Ulquiorra, he's a Visored after all, and most importantly Ichigo's reiatsu fluctuated alot so it's not like he can keep it that way constantly. Also, we don't know if that statement included Ulquiorra in his released and/or final form.

Which is odd because didnt they say that Chad and big boobs got their powers from Ichigo's powers leaking out? Could that mean that Ichigo had some Hollow in him all along? Who knows?

Well we don't know the extent of what "powers leaking out" do. For all we know it's simply a trigger to awaken a power within the characters... Else you're implying that Ichigo should have fairies and the power of annullation just as Inoue.
