well that would depend on some things if Nagato is still using his Six paths puppets

than it would go to Minato as Minato is planely said in the Manga and Anime to be stronger than Jiraiya. Nagato specifically said that had Jiraiya known the secret of the six paths puppets before hand he would have defeated Pain so it would stand to reason that Minato would also defeat Pain.

now when it comes to a fully restored Pain vs a restored Minato thats a question we can not answer because yes Nagato was the 2nd most powerful of all of kabuto's Edo Tensei army but we do not know where people like Tobirama and Minato compare to that of someone like Fully Restored Nagato. in my opinion it would be difficult to get past Minato's intelligence, his cunning, his skill as well as his Flying Thunder god even if Nagato can absorb chakra etc etc Minato is still a beast of a shinobi. whose skill allowed him to completely counter Obito's Kamui after only one encounter
