Sarumans orcs couldn't withstand the light because of Sarumans ring. They were bred with men so that they were really half orc and half man. That is why they were greater in size than Saurons orcs (Orcs are naturally shorter than men) and were able to withstand sunlight, even though they didn't like it.

Although Sauruman did cross the races of man and orc, the ones that could withstand sunlight despite the fact they didn't like it were the Uruk-hai which were originally bred by Sauron.

The reason that Sauron's ring forging skills were so advanced beyond Saurons was that Saurin was able to study under Celebrimbor, who's ring-making skills were (probably) only surpassed by his grandfather. Celebrimbor taught sauron every thing he knew, and Saran did not have that oppourtunity

The reason that Sauron's skills were greater than Sauruman's weren't because he studied under Celebrimbor, (Sauron in fact taught Celebrimbor about ring making not the other way round), but they were greater because Sauron was taught a lot of what he knew by Melkor. Melkor was at least as good as Aule in making things, but he also knew about domination of others which was the real power behind the rings. Sauron tricked the elves into making them by telling them that they could stop the decay of fading, but the real purpose was domination which is why the ring s were so powerful.
