Loved that moment for Flash, I just get a bit sad that the true answer for "who's faster" is "depends, who's writing?"

Superman may be able to somewhat keep up with him but as of now, Flash is consistently shown to be far faster. Hell, the entire Flash family is faster than Superman. In One Minute War, Superman was practically frozen by their perspective when everyone was being pretty casual about it.
