Thanks, Paula
Yiazmat and Omega XII are significantly easier then Omega and Shinryu from FFV, Penance and the last few Dark Aeons from FFX, Iron Giant in FFIII (DS) and debatable Ozma in FFIX. These either require much more proficient use of stratagy then the FFXII uber bosses or require far more leveling.

That being said, I think Yiazmat/Omega's status as the 'uber' bosses of FFXII is debatable at best. Despite having much lower HP, I found Zodiarc to be significantly more challenging.
I disagree with some statements. The only one that is harder than them is Ozma.

Omega and Shinryu from FFV
Well, if you are going to include the cheap trick of Reverse+Lure, I'll include the cheap tricks of:

Omega:
1. !Sshot+2 swords+Swd Magic Bolt 3. Killed in 1-2 attacks.
2. Casting Stop.

Shinryu:
1. 2 Dragon Lances+Jump. If three characters have this, he'll go down in one hit.
2. Casting Berserk.

And lets not forget the infamous Kiss of Blessing trick.

Penance and the last few Dark Aeons from FFX
Forget about Zanmato?

Iron Giant in FFIII (DS)
Can't say much about this...

debatable Ozma in FFIX
Debatable? Ozma has his cheap trick of automatically getting to attack before any character gets to make an action, and not to mention, strong attacks like Curse and Meteor, which can almost always wipe out your party in one hit to his disposal. The only debatable things here are luck, or how high leveled you are. Of course if you are overleveled, maybe 70+, then he's much easier than at, say, level 60.
