Comparing

- 148f:3070 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2870/RT3070 Wireless Adapter
  & rt2800usb.ko & Co. / rt2870.bin

- 0bda:8171 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188SU 802.11n WLAN Adapter
  & r8712u.ko / rtl8712u.bin

Realtek RTL8188SU easily outperformes Ralink RT3070
in managed i.e. Station (STA) infrastructure mode, despite 
...
r8712u: module is from the staging directory, the quality is unknown, you have been warned.
r8712u: Staging version
...

With the very same Access Point - AP1.

In this test, Realtek is the king of the road.

- Net draft
  RT3070/RTL8188SU Wi-Fi <~20cm LOS~> AP1 Wi-Fi <-> 100Mbit Ethernet switch <-> Ethernet

However, it is important to note, 
despite the relatively low throughput

- 148f:3070 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2870/RT3070 Wireless Adapter
  & rt2800usb.ko & Co. / rt2870.bin

is the combination full featured 

http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers - rt2800usb

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

On the other side, 
despite the great throughput

- 0bda:8171 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188SU 802.11n WLAN Adapter
  & r8712u.ko / rtl8712u.bin

is the combination supports only managed i.e. Station (STA) infrastructure mode

Besides it needs some help with the suspend/resume cycle

- 0bda:8171 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188SU 802.11n WLAN Adapter
  & rtl8192su.ko / rtl8192sufw.bin

is the combination supports master i.e. AccessPoint (AP) infrastructure mode, 
and testing has proved, with the very low throughput, but still usable
