I just tested everything except Flash Jump since I don't have a character with it. All with no movement bonuses, done on the bottom of FM7 for flatness.
Combat Step: 4.69s
Teleport: 4.88s
Soul Runner: 5.61s
Recoil Shot + Float: 5.83s
I started the measurement at the first movement, and ended when they hit the wall, either by walking into it or using their skill. Their use was as close to perfect as humanly possible. I used my regular method of "Combat Jumping" which is the fastest Combat Step can go. Teleport was just holding down the key + Walking. Soul Runner was a perfectly timed macro that used Jump+Soul Runner when the 1.5s delay ran out, walking forward the whole time. Recoil Shot was a Float+Recoil Macro, where Recoil was used as soon as possible after Floating, and Float was activated as soon as you hit the ground. If there's a faster way of doing any of these, let me know.
A thing to note is that Soul Runner and Recoil Shot both gain bonuses from Speed and Jump equips, which would affect these findings. More Jump gives a significant distance improvement to Jump + Soul Runner, and Speed obviously increases the speed at which you walk when it's under delay. Jump gives Recoil Shot + Float a higher peak to launch from, which should increase horizontal distance. Teleport's walking distance is so minimal though, I don't think much speed would affect it. Combat Step on the other hand, I've found Jump to be detrimental as it only keeps you in the air longer before your next Combat Step, causing you to just lose momentum instead. Speed I don't believe has any affect on it at all since there's no walking involved.
If I could get someone on Windia to Haste me, that'd be cool to test this out a bit more.
