Considering Hagoromo was both the jinchuriki and creator of the beasts, there's clearly a strong connection, strong enough that the nine of them recreate the Six Paths chakra the whole beast once possessed.

Don't believe me? When Naruto fights the Juubi, briefly Hagoromo's rinnegan appear behind him and the Juubi goes insane. Clearly it reminded the beast of Hagoromo.

Being a jinchuriki (long enough) makes their side-effects permanent. Even after death Gaara displayed his Original jinchuriki powers. And Kinkaku and Ginkaku still had Kurama's chakra even in death.

'''Main Topic: ''' Remember that Nagato was defeated by Bee, Naruto and Itachi as an Edo Tensei. But someone like Obito required no less than four Hokage, an army and two perfect jinchuriki to defeat, as well as the cooperation of two Transmigrants. Clearly, Obito was stronger than Nagato was. Madara was superior to a significant margin to Obito. Naruto and Sasuke matched that power.

Based upon this simple deduction, Nagato is ridiculously strong (and ridiculously stronger than a Sannin. I'd wager it would require all three just to match Nagato's healthy power). But Obito with the six Jinchuriki paths would defeat him. And Sasuke in his prime would make mincemeat of him.

I don't believe for one second that Obito was less fit for the Rinnegan than Nagato. Nagato never used it beyond it's base powers until he was an adult. Obito put it in his eye socket and immediately started using it for immense feats like using jinchuriki and biju as his pets. Obito is both an Uchiha and has Hashirama's cells, so he has the genetics for the Rinnegan and half the transmigrant power needed for Rinnegan. Compare to Nagato who has -according to official sources- neither Hackirama cells nor Uchiha cells.

Obito's papers for Rinnegan control are better. It's just that he never had an adjustment period. Because Kakashi clearly proves that transplanted eye control and efficiency signficantly improves with time and experience.

So, based upon all that i would say Sasuke destroys Nagato without much contest. he's easily two orders of magnitude below Sasuke.
